They also had to contend with torrential rains, and with mosquitoes and sand ï¬ies that so abounded, Nathaniel Uring later remarked, âthat neither Mouth, Nose, Eyes or any part of us was free of them; and whenever they could come at our Skin, they bit and stung us most intolerably.â2 Consequently the Mosquito Coast or âShore,â as it was sometimes called, was only nominally part of Spainâs
