TELLS OF RATS ON SHIPS
An Old Salt Of the British Navy
Writes Interesting Yarn About
Rodents and Roachea

An old salt of the British navy.
Paymaster Capt. G. II. A. Willis, has
been writing some amusing remlnis-
cences. Like all seamen, he has some
thing to say about the rats and
reaches that are an inevitable part
of the passenger list Of any ship.
The Hibernia. he says, swarmed
with cockroaches, a large black va
riety that l was told had been brought
by a ship from the East India sta.
tlon. They gnawed the backs of
books and nlbbled the edges of razors,
much TO the annoyance of their
owners. Why they nibbled razors !
do not know, but was told that the
steel assisted their digestion much as
gravel helps the digestive function
Of fowls
Rats also abounded. as they did In
all ships in those days. and used to
run across the beams and over the
brass rod from which the lamp hung
in the mess. The animals were Gun.
ming and gave a great deal of trouble
by gnawing through pipes in the hope
OF getting water or by forcing their
way into water carafes Their con.
tinual search for water gave us much
trouble later on In the InvincIble.
Our ration of bath water on that
ship was placed in tan cylindrical
cans In the after tiller fiat, dimly lit
by one lamp. Mornings some cans
near the after end were constantly
found only half full. THEFT was sus.
pected, and the sentry on the hatch.
way leading down to the fiat was
threatened with punishment; but still
the water disappeared and ALWAYS
during the middle watch. At last
the sentry Of that watch was sum.
moned. He promptly called in as a
witness a cell prisoner from the tiller
nat, who declared that rats In hun.
dreds came to the cans. He said that
While one stood on his hind legs with
paws against the can another climbed
up, balanced himself on the edge.
and, using his long tail as a fishing
rod, dipped 1t in and out of the wa.
ter, SO that the precious fluid trickled
from his tail into the mouths of A
continuous procession Of thirsty rats.
The dipping in and out continued TIL
the water was too low to be reached
In this manner; then the process was
repeated at another can.
On another occasion, In the Hiber,
MIA, we wanted to burn some papers
In our stove, which had not been used
Tor some time. Scarcely had we LII
them when about dozen rats of nil
ages and sizes that had taken up their
winter quarters inside the stove fed
precipitately up the funnel. As the
tunnel led through the mess port and
overhung the bottom of the accom-.
inodation ladder, they fell overheard
IN aNsudden stream into the captain's
galley, where in cooked hat and
epauiets he was showing of to Mt.
tend a court-martial He can hardly
nave arrived In judicial frame Of
mind.-Cornhill Magazine.

Banker-Farm Notes

Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, banks
and Chamber of Commerce at the be
ginning of 1928 mapped out vigor
GUS program for the promotion of
agriculture in the county. Through.
out the year they assisted in keeping
the farm organizations functionine
and distributed to them agricultural
bulletins and information of interest
They held rural community meetings
and entertainments, exhibits of farm
and home products, and advertised
home products. One specific result
was to induce milk receiving station
to locate In the vicinity, and during
the first month $4,000 was paid the
farmers for their milk. This marked
the turning point In the farmers
business.
