MAD CAT'S BITE.
Cause of British Warship Going Aground. OFFICERS REPRIMANDED. (Received 11.30 a.m.) LONDON, November 14. Because a mad cat bit two officers and a rating and rabies was feared, the British sloop Hastings rushed from Hedeida for Port Sudan, grounding on a Red Sea reef, where she remained for seven weeks. A court-niartial yesterday reprimanded the navigation officer, Lieutenant Malcolm Fraser Andrew, on charges of negligently stranding and hazarding his ship. Captain Claude Hermon-Hodge was similarly reprimanded to-day.
