Mrs. Chippy's last expedition : the remarkable journal of Shackleton's polar-bound cat
The carpenter has a very fine cat who is known as "Mrs. Chippie ..."--The diary of Commander F.A. Worsley, captain of Shackleton' s "Endurance." When Sir Ernest Shackleton' s ship "Endurance" became trapped in the Antarctic ice, all twenty-nine members of the crew were pushed to their limits of survival, including Mrs. Chippy, the ship' s estimable cat. Fortunately for posterity, Mrs. Chippy left a diary of the ordeal. Closely based on the true events of Shackleton' s heroic journey, and illustrated with authentic photographs taken by Frank Hurley, expedition photographer, "Mrs. Chippy' s Last Expedition" is a firsthand account of one of the greatest adventures in history--from a unique point of view.
"A diary of an astute male cat, "Mrs. Chippy," documents his journey to Antarctica with human associate Harry "Chippy" McNeish, and the survival techniques he adapted after the ship was damaged, as well as details of his other duties, including watching for changes in weather and tormenting the sled dogs."
