Kate hated to see him contort and cry out in pain.. She could better manage him and keep him hidden if need be. "You are adorable. I am sorry. I know it took everything you had left." Kate wraps him in her cloak and carries him out of the horrible, cold, stinking cage. "Now I can feed you and bath you. You can recover safely."<br/><br/>Kate shivers a bit. She was well dressed with warm underpinnings. She rushed quickly to the ship that was loading provisions after unloaded all day. She saw the captain. A man of 50 years, he was dressed in long woolen coat, thick hat and holding a bill of lading. A pipe was clenched in his warn and yellow teeth.<br/><br/>Kate called to him, "Captain O'Mally, permission to board Sir?"<br/><br/>The man eyes squinted in the sun and he motioned to her, "Granted M'Lasssy. Come up."<br/><br/>Kate held her gift and took a breath..it was a mental challenge..  Courage Kate..is just a ship..this time you have to be brave..your holding a ...a man.<br/><br/>Kate rushed to the cabin and met the cabin boy of 12. "Amesly, hot tea and fresh hot water in a basin please.  Have Cookie bring up cream, warm fish and broth."<br/><br/>Kate removed the cloak and placed the cat on a pillow. "Rest now. You earned it."
