Well" Andy said, "it's full of
cats" His big face was crinkled
with the effort of explanation. Il
mean, we got too many on board,
an the skipper says get rid of some
of them"
Good story" the Customs man
said. Zone of the best I've heard"
"It's true" Andy said. The
crew, they wanted to toss them
over the side. But I like cats, an
I thought if I could take them
ashore maybe I could find homes
for them" He was sweating; his
big face shone.
Il like CATS" he said again.
Don't open it, please" His voice
shook.
LOOK, Mac" the Customs man
said. He was undoing the straps.
1T won't work, see? It's a good
try, but it won't work" He undid
the latch and opened the case.
There were six cats, although it
seemed like quite a few more. They
came out in a rush, claWing and
snarling and splitting with rage.
They circled the Customs shed,
gathering speed, and then they
streaked back out the wharf and
up the gangplank and disappeared
onto the ship.
Andy closed the empty suitcase.
He strapped it carefully. He gave
the Customs man one long, mourn
full look. Then he plodded back
aboard ship.
In the bar, the bosun was laugh
ing so hard he cried into his drink.
And the crew was laughing, too.
All but Carl. Carl said, He can't
get away with it! Not that big

said. An that's how it goes"
1t was forty minutes before
Andy was back to the Customs
shed again. He had the suitcase in
his hand, and he leaned a little
against its weight. He set it down
at the Customs mans feet. He
wiped his broad face. "You want
to open it this time?" he said.
"They was awful hard to catch
again"
The Customs man stared at the
suitcase. He stared at Andy. He
opened his mouth and then he
closed it again, and Andy waited,
quivering inside. go on" the
Customs man said. Get the hell
outa here"
SO THERE it was. Andy's face
showed nothing. Eyes, sir" he
said, and he picked up the suitcase
and his sea bag and walked slowly
across the street and into the bar.
He was thinking of Minna, and of
a television set, and maybe, al
though he didn't know what such
things cost, of one of those mechan-
ical washing machines that took
clothes and little soap and did
everything, all by itself. Minna, he
thought, would like that; she
could sip her brandy, and laugh at
the television screen and listen to
the machine doing her work for
her. The concept pleasured him.
He let the prospect of these SIM
pie delights curl inside him and
warm the smile with which he
greeted his crewmates. They
crowded around him, pummeling
his shoulders. All, that is, except
Carl, who sourly watched the
bosun take out sheaf of bills.
Andy stood among them, mas
sive and solid, smiling his helpless
sort of smile, while the bosun
counted the money into his hand.
From time to time the bosun
stopped his counting to wipe his
eyes. Them CATS" he said.
"Squallin' an snortin' through
that shedp
"Well," Andy said. II fed them
real good when l went back on
board. l don't hardly think they
mind any more" Minna would
like that part of it; Minna liked
cats, just as he did. He folded the
money and put it carefully into
his purse. He smiled at everybody,
including Carl. He picked up his
sea bag. WELL" he said.
"How about a drink" the bosuD
said.
Andy shook his head. Il got to
CO."
THE old lady?" thebosun said.
Shed never know"
Andy shook his head again. 1T
wouldn't be honest"
CARL snorted. "Honest!" He
slapped the suitcase with his open
