HUDSON'S CAT
"This night our cat ranne crying from one side of the ship to the other, looking overboord, which made us to wonder; but we saw nothing."
—Juet's Journal.
What did you see, O pussy-cat-mew,
Pet of the Half-Moon's turbulent crew?
Who taught them mew-tiny? Wasn't it you?
Juet kept journal of storm and fog
And the mermaid that set them all agog,
But what has become of the cat-a-log?
