NAVAL PETS AND MASCOTS.
STORIES OF SEVERAL BROUGHT INTO PROMINENCE
HY THE WAR.
ii. . , Jv .ii.
There Is nothing that pnvua raoro con
clusively the really childlike simplicity of
heart of our average naval Jhcklo than his
love ot pets.
The present war has bro igbt riany of
these Into prominence. The most famous
of all mascots nnd pets on board today Is
shown In the accompanying Illustration ,
drawn from a photograph now first pub
lished. It Is a plcturo of "Tom , " Captain
Slgsbeo's pet cat , a survivor of the ill-
fated Maine. The cat was rescued and
tahon aboard a nearby steamer. This plcturo
wna taken soon after. "Tom" must either
have the endurance prominent In our navy ,
or the proverbial nlno lives.
"Billy Terror , " a young goat , with an in
telligence considerably above the average ,
also received public attention recently. He
IB the pot of all on board the Terror , and
it IB said that the equipment department
of the ship carries a peculiarly toothsome
cfass of spun yarn for his own consumption.
"Whon the monitor first went Into action
Billy became panic stricken , and refused to
bo comforted until he had been carried clear
down Into the double , bottoms. Billy Is
berne on the ship's books as a regularly
enlisted member of tbo crew , nnd his name
bos often figured on the punishment list ot
tbo executive officer. When the victorious
! v fleet finally returns to American waters nnd
a great parade Is held on shore , Billy will
doubtless lead his part of the procession
with the air of a veteran ,
When Jnmes 0. Blalne was resting at his
vllln In Bar Harbor , a few months before
hta fatal Illness , he paid a brief visit ono
day to the flagship of thc North Atlantic
squadron , then In port. The officers of
the ship vied In showing their distinguished
visitor the various objects of Interest. The
guns were described and worked , the mys
teries of the conning tower revealed , anil
all parts of the vessel thrown open for his
Inspection , but the only thing which really
held thu statesman's attention was the
rpeotivclo of a grizzled old boatswain's mate
fondling a pet kitten. The antics of the
little animal nnd the tenderness with which
thu grim petty officer handled It brought a
smileto lilalno'H careworn face , and Ignited
again In his eyes the kindly light familiar
In his happier days.
This affection for pets Is no modern In
novation contemporaneous with the armored
turret and breech-loading rifle. Everybody
who has read the old English sea stories
will remember how fond the sailors used to
bo of pets on board ship. The tale of
"Shakings , " the midshipman's dog of the
old "Leandor , " In whose memory all tbe
officers' dogs on board , and the ship's pigs
ns well , ucre put Into mourning by the
midshipmen by means * of strips of black
cloth , which the lads tied around the anl
nm ! ' forelegs , te ono of the most humorous
In literature. Nelson's officers , in the fleet
oft Toulon , had their dogs , with whom , wo
are told , they used to take runs ashore at
Magdalpna and elsewhere ; and the story of
Colllngnood's pet , "Bounce. " and his airs
as "My Lord , the Admiral's dog , " over the
other dogs of the fleet , Is historic.
Vnrlrlr lu I'eU.
Naval sailors do not discriminate In their
( election of pets. It appears that any old
thing with four legs is good enough for the
average bluejacket. But when he does
smuggle an animal on board , whether It be
doc , a cat , a goat , a bear or a pig , that
la bound to experience auch a course
of training that It will ever after shine
among Its kind. It Is really marvelous the
amount of Intelligence a gunner's mate or a
ship's cook can find In such an ordinarily
stupid fowl ns n duck or a goose. Old Jim
Lawson , a quarter-gunner on the "Snblne , "
appeared on board one morning with n
heavy list to sta'rboard In consequence of a
bout with the rum shops of Rio Janeiro ,
and when be was overhauled by the cor
poral of the guard a bulky object was found
In the full of his shirt front. It proved , to
tbo great astonishment of the onlookers , to
be a small , half-grown crane.
Jim was permitted to retain his queer pst
after much pleading nnd within a month
he bad the crane taught to march and
countermarch like a regular marine. When
the ship's crew lined up at the guns for
quarters "Bobs , " the crane , would take his
station on the breech of the forward pivot
and perch gravely there until the ceremony
was over , "Bobs" came to an untimely end
In a pampero , or fierce squall , off the coast
of Uruguay , being blown overboard during
a lurch of the ship.
One of thc most famous of naval pets was
"Pete , " the trained ape of the Essex. Pete
wna picked up In Monrovia by a petty
olllcer while the ship was cruising off thc
west coast In ' 82. He was purchased for
a second-hand marine blouse and a pair ot
tarnished epaulets , nnd when ho made his
first appearance on board ho made things
Interesting by biting the master-nt-arms
and tearing a yard of cloth from the pay
master's capacious trousers. It was only
through the most earnest pleading that the
' captain , A. H. MncCormlck , was Induced to
allow the npo to remain on board. Before
(
1 tbo cnilieas many months older the com
mander freely confessed that Pete had crept
Into his heart by his quaint ways and almost
human Intelligence.
Pete stood three feet ten Inches In his
stockings , and It was not long before a
costume was selected for him. The first
uniform he wore was patterned after that
of a marine. Tbe overcoat bore the three
stripes and the diamond of a first sergeant
and before Pete _ had worn It twenty-four
hours * that non-commissioned officer was at
the mast with a complaint. "It's a holy
show the monk do be making of me , ser , "
he objected. "The whole ship's company Is
paying , 'Attention , Pete ! . Right dress ,
front,1 and the likes of that. "
Full-PledKfd .Memlic-r.
Pete's tutor was ordered to change the
rig , and the ape speedily came out In the
blouse and white duck trousers of a sailor. I
He was .taught to sweep decks and cell
down ropes , and It finally came to pass
that his name was entered on the musterIng -
Ing books as a full-fledged member of tbo
crow. He took particular delight In every
ceremony save that of target practice.
The report of the heavy guns Invariably'
caused him to fall prostrate with his face
pressed closely against tbo deck. In the
most groveling attitude , and there he
would remain until some friendly shipmate -
( 1
mate would carry him limp and trembling
below.
Pete's most prominent characteristics
were revenge and mtschlevousness. Ono
day a cadet pinched him In passing , and
laughed heartily at the animal's snarling
protest. The following Sunday afternoon
the cadet stretched n hammock from tbe
port pin rail to the foremast on the fore
castle and proceeded to make himself
comfortable with a magazine or book. Ho
had barely settled down to his reading
when swish ! came some object from the
rigging overhead nnd a wad of tarry i
oakum struck the cadet full in the breast.
As he looked up in amazement ho saw
Pete disappearing into the foretop. The
pinch was revenged.
In the corvettes of the old navy a jack-
stay , or iron rod , ran round the sides of the
berthdeck , to which were fastened the black
bags ( clothes bags ) of the crew. It was
the custom of the berthdeck cooks to hang
their strings of tin cups to this stay , and It
\VRH owing to tills formality that one of the
cooks of the Essex almost fainted with1 fright
"TOM , " CAPTAIN SIGSBEE'S PKT CAT , RESCUED FROM THE "MAINE. " PHO-
TOOKAPH TAKEN ON THE "PERN" IN HAVANA HARBOR.
one sunny af.ternoon. At this time of day
the breezlness of tbe forecastle was most
tempting , and the berthdeck was clear , save
for the cook in question. Ho was seated on
his mess chest preparing supper and croon
ing a sea ditty , when suddenly there cnmc
a loud rattling ot the string of cups almost
at his elbow.
A CJIioBt Helow.
He gave a start nnd quickly glanced about ,
but no ono was visible. Thinking be had
been mistaken , ho set to work once more.
A moment later the tins rattled again , this
time so loudly that the cook shot up the
spar deck with a yell of fright. His ap
pearance on deck created a sensation , and
after he had lustily proclaimed his belief
that a ghoat was visiting thc ship , going
so far as to name some former n.r'e who had
died In previous years , a delegation consistIng -
Ing of the mastcr-nt-nrms , ship's corporal
and captain of the hold hastened below , with
a choice assortment of belaying pins. Tak
ing an advantageous position within easy
reach of the ladder , they watched the string
of tin cups. Presently the master-at-arms
gave an exclamation , and pointed to where
a long hairy arm was protruding from be
hind a black bag. The band at the end ot
the arm clutched the string of cups and gave
It a quick shake. The master-at-arms
sprang forward , and , tearing thc bag aside ,
dragged forth Pete ! The mischievous ape's
face was wrinkled with g'.eo. Ho was en
joying his little joke with the gusto of a
spectator at a Depew dinner.
Two pet dogs , Vulcan and Diana , of the
od ! Lancaster , will go down In naval history
as the principals in a heroic and rather
pathetic incident. The Lancaster was flag
ship ot the European station at the time ,
nnd she was lying In the harbor of Vllle ,
t France. A party of the young officers of
the ship had gone up to Monte Carlo , and It
was while several of them were returning
I r.t night that one overheard a shrill snap-
I ping and growling beyond some bushes ou
i thn edge of n road just outside of the town.
I Their curiosity aroused , tbe cadets pressed
forward Just as two rough looking men
darted from the bushes. Chase was made
at once , but the fugitives managed to escape
In the darkness. Hurrying back to the
bushes the American officers found tht > body
of n richly dressed young man stretched out
upon the ground , and crouching over him ,
feebly growling , were two handsome dogs.
They had evidently fought valiantly for their
master , and were covered with wounds , H
turned out that tbe young man was the son
of n noble house ot France , and that he had
won a considerable sum on the tables that
night , only to lose It and his life at the
hands of the two thieves. The two dogs
were presented to the Lancaster by his rela
tives , and they became prime favorites with
officers and sailors alike.
A Monkey on Guard.
Several years ago , when the British gov
ernment was endeavoring to suppress the
slave traffic on the African coast , a small
English gunboat was riding at anchor one
night In the mouth of a river not far from
the Congo , The craft boasted a crew of
only twenty men , and ns a number were
suffering with coast fever , the crew was
short-handed. Constant doubling of watches
had told on the sailors , and along toward
midnight the young officer ot the deck and
bis two lookouts forward fell asleep. It
chanced that the gunboat carried among
other odd objects a monkey obtained from a
friendly Kroo boy , and on the night In ques
tion It happened that the monkey was par
ticularly wakeful.
As the midnight hour approached , certain
grass-covered floats drifted out from the
bank with thc current , and were carried
down toward the British gunboat. One
brought up against the anchor chain , and
presently a dark woolly head appeared over
the railing. There came another and then
another , and as the beads grew rapidly In
number , tbe monkey , who had been watching
curlouily from tbe forward batch , set up a
prodlgeous chattering. Alarmed sailors
awakened quickly , and In less time than Is
taken In the telling , the gunboat's crew was
hacking merrily at the Intruders , who proved
to bo hostile natives Incited by traders.
They were repulsed with loss , and the on-
'
key became the subject of glorious fete. His
stuffed body now adorns the museum ot a
retired British admiral , and a metal plate
at the base of the case eloquently tells the
story.
The keeping of pets nnd the tenderness
shown to dumb animals by our gallant boys
In blue are not the least of their many good
qualities , and no tru American will err
when he confesses that he nolcls a steadfast
regard for them In his innermost heart.
