MISTAKE CAUSED BY PARROT
initiates Boatswain's Whistle and
Sailors on War Vessel Drop
Woman INTO the Ocean.

Have You heard of "Merrie Eng.
and?" Well, it isn't always merry, but
here is very merry sailor boy story
hat comes from there.
Some parrots can talk in a very
lever manner, and their droll sayings
often make people laugh,
One particular parrot was the pet on
board a warship, and it was so very
clever that II learned to initiate a
great many things, 1t often heard the
ooatswain of the ship blow his whistle
when he was ordering the sailor men
about their work, and before very long
t could initiate exactly every kind of
whistle
Well, one day party of ladies came
from the shore in a small boat on a
visit to the warship, and as the sides
Of the ship were very high, they had
to sit in a chair to be hoisted on to
the deck.
\ rope was fastened to the chair, of
course, and some sailormen pulled the
rope until the lady in the chair got to
the deck.
Polly the parrot was looking round
a corner watching the ladies' come on
deck in that way. And suddenly, as
the sailormen were pulling up another
ii the ladies', Polly whistled like the
ooatswain, and called out, Let go!"
The sailormen thought it was the
ooa;swain who had whistled, and they
iet go the rope at once, and in mo-
Ment the poor lady was in the sea!
Most fortunately, however, some
other sailormen were on the watch,
nd they quickly pulled the lady out
i the water.
