the lead In the now exciting race for the
two-minute mile.

MASCOT, THE WHITE KITTEN,
Spent Fifty Hours in the Rigging of the
City of Savannah and Then Came or.

Grouped on the Fall River pier at the
foot OF Warren street. New York, Mon
day afternoon, stood a party OF twenty
three men, waiting for the Puritan TO
take them on to Boston. The central
figure in the group a short, thick-set
man, says the New York Sun. with
bronzed face and grizzly moustache,
stood erect, with his arms foyled over his
broad chest. Upon the solid foundation
thus made a white kitten nestled. The
men and the kitten were the Boston con-
tingent Of the crew of the steamship City
of Savannah, which was wrecked on
Hunting Island, off the South Carolina
coast, in last weeks cyclone.
The seamen In the party swear by all
that's holy, including the holy poker, that
the kitten is as good seaman as any Of
them. lie was only an ordinary ships
kitten before the last trip. taking pats
and kicks as happened. Captain Savage
had named him Mascot" upon his birth
six months ago, but that was his only
claim TO consideration. 1t is different
now Mascot can have cream every day
II the crew know where they can pucke-
row any.
The story Of the Bleaching Of the City
OF Savannah and the taking off OF her
crew by the City Of birmingham has
been told already. but nothing has been
said Of the kitten.
He's a wonder" said one OF the men
Yesterday Nobody thought OF him in
che rush. but Mascot got there. He
climbed the rigging in that gale like an
oh tar. and hung on for hours. Not
bit frightened, he wasn't only he did cat
erwaul when he got hungry. We give
him a biscuit wet with salt water, but he
was accustomed to the best on board, and
he wouldn't have it. He swallowed his
pride afterward, though. and was glad 10

before the sea was such that we could
be taken off in boats. At night the Cap
tain ordered all the crew into the rigging.
and made as stay there. We each took
piece Of rope and dashed ourselves on to
keep from falling off when asleep. That's
what the Captain said the string was for.
but l never slept at all. The cat got
along without any rope. and was there
I'm the morning all right. When we got
away nearly crazy with thirst and so
faint we could hardly climb down the
Jacobs ladder into the Birmingham's
boats. that little devil climbed out of his
nest IN the rigging and wanted to go
