CAPTAIN WEBER, of the schooner
JIG. Craig of Portland, Me-, tells a
remarkable cat story. The cat in
question belonged on a vessel, and
though petted by the captain, was
disliked by some OF the crew. One
day recently, while the vessel was be-
tween NJ onhegan and 2 omaquid P ONT,
one Of the men threw the cat over
board and everybody supposed that
was the last OF poor pussy. A week
safterward, however, when captain
Weber arrived home, the cat came
purrlng down the garden to meet him.
The captain can't explain how the
cat got ashore, but knows that she is
ashore and as good as new.
