The Skipper Was a Rat.

The London Field tells this story:
"a rat was caught alive on board a
British naval vessel in trap, and the
beast was thrown from the trap into
the water without being killed. A large
gull that was following in the wake of
theship topickup scraps of food thrown
overheard by the steward, stopped sew
eral times, endeavoring to pick the rat
up. Once the bird got too close to the
rats jaws and the beast grabbed it by
the neck. After a short fight the rat
succeeded in killing the bird. When
the gull was dead the rat scrambled
upon the birds body, and, hoist
ing one wing as a sail, and us
ing the other as a rudder, sue
ceeded in steering for the shore.
Whether the rat reached shore or not is
a question, since the ship soon got out

ordinary cat. Indeed, it is more like a
dog; for it will follow it's master any
where, hunt with him and fight for
him.
Scientists have been very much puz-
zled to know why the NEanX cat is not
provided with a tail, like others of its
kind, and great many theories have
been advanced to account for it. The
general opinion now seems to be that
the first NGanX cats, living hundreds OF
years ago, sat down too much. That
sounds odd, doesn't it?
The soil of the Isle of Man is very
damp, and the air, also, is full of moist
ure, and the early cats in sitting on
their launches acquired some disease
of the tail, so scientists think, and
gradually the tail disappeared entirely.
The Manx cat is not the only tailless
cat. In Siam and Burmah there is a cat
with a tail only half the ordinary length
and curled up in knot like pigs tail,
and in the Crimea there lives race of
cats entirely without tails and having
the general appearance of ManX CATS
