Rats and Unseaworthy ships.


The old superstition, which has grown
into an adage, that rats desert a ship
which is no longer seaworthy, is still an
article of faith with the fresh-water sail

thenticated Instances seem to justify this
belief. The Vernon was a three-master.

Buffalo in 1870. she was for many years
regarded a 5 one of the best craft on the
lakes. Late in the fall about fifteen years
ago. she unloaded a cargo OF grain I'm
Buffalo and reloaded with package freight
for Chicago She was about 10 sail che
rough November night. Just before the
lines were let off, one Of the seamen saw
a rat run over the hawsers TO the wharf
In moment another was seen. The sea-
man called others of the crew 70 see the
unusual sight. Between fifty and seven
ty-five rats poured out OF the ship and
took refuge along the wharf. The crew
refused 20 sail. but the captain was OBJ
stihate shipped a fresh crew. and sailed
forthwith. The snip was lost with all
hands. The Idaho. fine passenger steam

nineteen were drowned. Just before the
vessel left her mornings a swarm Of rats

This was known TO part OF the crew.

vessels. and an old lakeman says: 1T
