In Ships Than Rats
Вл
Rats have been regarded a integral part of every ship's crew since the days when ships were first built.
There are hundreds of stories of rats leaving sinking ships, and giving warning if there is a fire below. And now the ahip rat is being ousted from his recognised home by a small but persevering enemy, the mouse.
There are more mice than rats found in the merchant ships of to- day, a correspondent learnt at the headquarters of Mr. Chapman, London's busiest ratestcher. His offices in Victoria Dock-road-com- prise a veritable arsenal. Every sort of destructive device, ranging from elaborate traps to poison gas, are the tools of his trade, and his work, and that of his assistante, is done in the dark holds of the ships, where the rodents live among every sort of cargo and travel to all the ports of the world..
