TOO TIDY CABIN-BOY.
THREW 149 PASSPORTS OVERBOARD.
Owing to a cabin-boy's passion for neatness, 149 passengers in the French liner "Savoie" were without pass- ports when she arrived in New York.
During the voyage the assistant purser, who was engaged in writing up the ship's manifests, left his cabin for balf an hour to go on deck. The boy who waited on him entered the cabin and finding it, apparently, in a state of confusion, tided up by the simple expedient of throwing quan- titie of what he imagined to be waste-paper out of a port-hole.
Among the "waste-paper" were 140 passports. Passengers to whom they had belonged "were allowed to land pending the issue of new ones.
