Washington reports that Captain Roberts described two hours of sailing through seas of snakes off Ceylon near Philadelphia, while government scientists including Dr. Geo Becker confirm vast numbers. Thanatophidia sea snakes, deadly to all, number in the millions with varied colors and potent bites feared by seafarers. They hunt like hounds, surrounding prey in wide circles before striking.
