a Tricky 8kinner

Talking about rats" said a steve
dore on a Sixth street pier, reminds
me Of pretty slick trick Witnessed
the other day on the part Of a down
East skipper who wished to rid the
ship OF number Of troublesome TO
dents. His vessel was moored near to
an English freighter and he noticed
that she was taking in a quantity Of
cheese. 80 one evening he found an
excuse for hauling out to her and
taking his own packet alongside. The
next step was to procure plank,
smear It well with an Odoriferous
preparation OF red behring's and place
It through an open port on board the
Englishman. The result was ImmI-
grafton Of rats from the American
lhir's hold to the cheese-laden vessel
