How Did it Get There9

Joe Varian and Hamp Smith
were cleaning an old engine yes
terday, which had not been used
for years. when they found live
rat with snug nest in one of the
cylinders. How it got into the
cylinder is question now to be
solved, GAS the cylinder was..packed
all round and the piston rod fitted
tightly. There was no way for the
rat to get into the cylinder except
through the exhaust pipe, which
stood high in the air, or through
the ports which were only three
fourths of an inch. Who can solve
the problem?
