LIFE RISKED FOR CAT
Bather than order his men to risk their lives for a cat, the Chief Constable of Plymouth, Mr. W. C. Johnson, lately went himself down a cliff on the sea front. He led firemen to the elifitop when a call for help came. The cat was trapped in a hole 60ft. below. The task of saving it was so dangerous that the chief found himself unable to ask others to undertake it. He lowered himself down a rope to the level of the. cat and induced the animal to come out of the hole. Holding it in his arms he was hauled up to safety.
