The yarn today ja about
an adventure I won’t soon
forget. At th ’ tim e it hap
pened I wa« one of th ’ crew
of th ’ »hip, Flyin' Cloud,
hound from C alcutta to
Bo»ton. In a cage on deck
wa» a »avnge tiger bein’
»hipped to tli’ zoo in Boston.
One niornin’ a» th’ «kip
per wa» walkin’ th ' quarter-
deck he »aw a «hark swim-
min’ alongside. O rderin’ ono
of th ’ men to bring th*
shark-hook and a piece of
«alt pork, he alao had a
tackle rigged to hoist Mr.
Shark aboard if he was
caught.
Well s’r, th ’ shark wa«
hooked and hauled up above
th ’ deck in short order. Th*
tiger m ust have smelled th ’
shark for he let out a roar
th a t scared th ’ men holdin*
th ’ rope fastened to th ’
shark. Down came th a t big
Ash on top of th* tiger’s
cage. There wa« a crash and
th ’ next m inute th ’ tiger
leaped out on deck. In Ju«t
about three seconds • all
hands were in th ’ riggm ’.
Before th* tiger could get
hi» bearin’» th ’ » h a r k
whacked him with hi» tail
alongMide Hi’ heud. Then
around th ’ deck th ’ two of
em flopped and scratched,
th ’ tiger yowlin’ like a big
tom-cat and th ’ shark clash-
in’ his teeth. Quicker’» a
wink th ' »hark grabbed th*
tiger'» paw. Wow, w hat a
scratchin’ and yowlin' there
Was then.
When we »aw th a t th ’
tiger couldn't get away we
hopped to th ’ deck and had
him tied up In no time, and
then wo killed th ’ shark.
A fter we’d bandaged th' ti
ger’» paw we fixed up hl«
cage and locked him up
aguin. L ite r, when he was
in th ’ zoo, people came to
see th ’ tiger that had fought
with a shark.
