W ell, kid«. th‘ yarn to­
day has to do with a fight
on th' high seas, and how a
big bully met hi« match.
Topa'I Barney's schoon­
er. on which Kaugy and I
were takin' a cruise, had
sailed from Thursday Is­
land and was In th' Java
Sea. nearing Bornao.
One mornin’ Kangy was
peekin’ into a barrel near
th' galley, which is th'
ship's kitchen, when Big
Pete, one of th’ crew, lit a
match, and from behind an
end of th ’ fo'c’stle held th ’
burning match to th* end
of Kangy’s tail
From th’
break of th’ quarter-deck I
saw ih' whole thing, but it
happened before I could in­
terfere.
Poor Kangy yip-
ped and jumped abolit th ’
deck. Th' sailors thought
it a rich joke, and Big Pete
laughed louder than any.
I was good and mad, for
Kangy was my pal, and be­
sides, I can't stand by and
see animals cruelly treated.

Tops’l Barney had heard
th' rumpus and came on
deck from below. When I
told him what Big Pete had
done he was for keelhaulin'
th' bully.
But
Kangy,
knowin' who had burned
his tail took th' punish­
ment of th' big sailor into
his own hands, as you
might say.
With
his eyes
fairly
shootin* fire he made for
Big Pete. Bein’ a fighter.
Pete hauled off and landed
his fist on Kangy’s tender
nose.
But Kangy was a
fighter, too.
Orabbin* a
bucket of tar in his paws
he jumped again and clap­
ped th' bucket, ta r and all,
over Pete's head. That was
too much for th’ big bully.
With a tarry yell, spittln*
tar at every jum p, he ran,
with Kangy after him.
Well s’r that sailor was
so scared that he Jumped
over th' rail and into th’
sea. O f course we fished
him out. but after that he
left Kangy alone.
