Thanks, Kat!

There's a nice picture of the ship's cat curled up on some cushions in the article. The surfman subsequently adopted the cat, renamed her Hunnie in honor of the Hunnewell Beach Life Saving Station.

Gussie Hodkins was complimented in an editorial of the Bath Daily Times, 1/24/1901, noting: "That sailor who braved the elements at Whaleback...to save a pet cat has the right kind of heart in him."

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
