While the steamer Tymeric was discharging cargo at New Plymouth the forecastle cat, a great favourite with the lasear crew went overboard while making a dive for a bird. There were no cries, but the cat immediately struck out for the shore. When it reached the stern of the ship, however, it must have decided that the shore was too far away, for it made a good landing on the rudder, and a storm of chattering immediately commenced. A rope ladder was dropped over the side, and one of the lascars went down, accompanied by a bucket on another rope. Finding the bucket scheme impracticable, however, the lasear placed the car on his shoulder and returned to the deck, and so what was almost a tragedy averted.
