+, uped quarter of a mile from shore and
the cat got In first.
The cats superior speed was not due
to her fear Of the water for she was
one of those rare cats that go in vol
UNFAIRLY. The dog was fully as anx-
ious to reach shore as the cat, for he
was frantic with eagerness to get to
his master who stood on the land.
The cat in question belonged to me
when 1 owned a fishing camp on
marsh island in the middle OF one of
| the big salt water bays on the south
shore of Long Island. She was
great ugly black cat, and as she had
been born on the marsh, she was ac-
customed to the water from the be-
ginning.
When she was still tiny kitten, she
used to amuse US and our visitors by
lying close to the water and making
swift dabs with her claws at the little
minnows that flashed past.
Finally, one day, we were surprised
to find her standing i'm the water She
| had waded out so far that only her
shoulders and head were above the
surface and there she stood fishing.
For long time she did not move a
muscle. Then suddenly she made
quick motion with her left fore claws
and backed out of the water with a
little blackfish, weighing about a
quarter of pound.
From that day on 1t became unnec-
essary to feed the cat. She hunted
for her own food regularly and for
several years she ate absolutely moth
ing but fish. except in winter.
She became so greedy for fish that
she would leap into boats as soon as
they came alongside and steal the first
fish that she could seize, Finally II
became customary for the fishermen
. to anchor their boats in front of the.
camp and wade ashore TO prevent the
thief from getting any of their catch.
AS the beach was shelving, the boats
often were anchored two hundred feet
out from shore. One day saw some
thing move in one of the boats and
then / saw our black cat climb fur
tfvely out OF the bow with fish in her
mouth. She slipped gently into the
water and swan ashore with her spoil.
After that she made a regular prac-
tice of swimming out to boats until
she became nuisance. Her Gins were
made worse by the fact that, although
she would stand in the water patiently
for hours waiting for a fish, she re-
fused absolutely to catch the water
rats with which the creek was in
tested.
So there was no grief among us
when a stranger, seeing the cat swim
across the creek one day imagined
that she was some curious sea crea-
ture and shot her dead.
