 Red Saunders said he could take anything.  The men found a corner of the island where thick clouds of mosquitos were hovering above the still water.  The workmen built a small, smoldering fire to give off smoke that would give them some shelter.  And Red stripped off his shirt and lay face down in the mud, letting the mosquitoes go to work on his back.  And work they did.  Red's back was soon covered with the insects, digging in, drawing blood, and leaving itchy welts behind.  But Red didn't flinch.  He just lay there, letting the mosquitos feed on him, and only occasionally looking up to say "I sure hope those mosquitos over there ain't getting to be too much for y'all" to the men sheltering in the smoke.  This went on and on.  But when about three-quarters of that hour had passed, something happened.  Red felt something bite into his back sharper and more powerful than he had ever imagined.  A searing, sharp pain, bit into his flesh, and he heard one of the men by the fire yell out "Gallinipper!"

 There are in this country over thirty varieties of mosquitoes. Some are small and others are quite large.  Some live wholly on vegetable juices, while others have a passion for animal fluids. The largest, and perhaps the most ferocious kind, is one which the steamboatmen of the Mississippi River call the galnipper.  Of it they tell strange stories.  They describe it as being as large as a goose; and they gravely declare that it flies about at night with a brick-bat under its wings to sharpen its beak with.
