The British Tar and the Cat.
The following incident occurred at the time of the wreck of the Advance at the mouth of the Tyne. After the hoat was launched, Captain Osbourne stuck to his post like a true British sailor, directing each man to his position in the boat, so that she ' should not capsize. Not until he saw his crew safely in did he attempt to enter and save himself, and then, upon hearing some one ssaty t the cat was in the cabin, he got out of the boat again and got into the cabin, flooded with water, and brought the cat, saying, as he re-entered the boat, " Now, lads, I think we are all here ; you may shove off."
