Forty-one monkeys were taken on board at an eastern port. They refused to answer an-swer the dinner bell; they swarmed in the rigging, hopelessly tangling any loose ends of rope they could find, swung on the whistle rope, sending forth blasts of the siren in the dead of night: rifled the gallery shelves and upset everything that was not nailed down, Freedom of the ship had been granted to the monkeys to keep them in hotter health, but Captain Smith finally ordered or-dered them caught and put back in tho cages. This resulted in the death of twelve. |
