STRANGE THINGS AT SEA.
q Cloud Graded Frog and u Cat That
Would Not Drown.

A remarkable story about the Ameri-
can ship Iroquois picking live frog on
q cloud in midocean excited a murmuv
Of comment along the water front, and
had the story come to port with almost
any other man but Captain Taylor it
might have been doubted. Taylor's rep
utation for veracity is we'll established
in Portland, so the strange story was
taken without grain of salt and with
only few drinks of whisky. An un-
usual tale Of the sea always brings TO
mind another, and the frog story of the
lroquois was no exception.
There's strange things happen on
board ship, sometimes" said Al Belts,
the well known river pilot, land scrap
ing frogs off the clouds with topmast
is not tie strangest. i remember an &C.

1.-The Plumduff was en- route from
Calcutta for the Columbia III ballast,
and | was iilst mate under Captain
Timbcrtoes. Among other live stock
aboard was q maltese cat. The cat be-
haved very well for the first week or two,
but when we got over on the equator she
made the night hideous with her inces-
SAINT yowliAg. Old Timbertoes had the
eOut and did not sleep well anyway,
and this infection nearly made him
crazy, so one night he came out. and,
finding the cat III IA good, convenient
position, kicked her over into the sound
ing sea-
THE only witness TO the deed was a
lascar sailor at the wheel, and when he
told the rest of the crew we almost had
mutiny on cur hands, as they prophe-
sled all sorts Of bad luck would happen
TO the ship. Nothing came Of it, how
ever, and as we were III good ballast
