There may be additional services for which returns had not been received by that date.The adventures of Captain Calamity and his black and white cat.., Sailor Bob Faversham and his companion Little Scilla, who have been preparing for a round-the-world trip, have not been having their share of good luck recently.

In the past months, Little Scilla.

Bob's kitten, has fallen overboard from his yacht three times, but has always been saved and returned to lone yachtsman Bob.

Then Bob fell ill at sea and had to be attended to by a local doctor on board the Ramsgate lifeboat. During the incident, his little furry friend disappeared once more, this time, Bob feared, for good.

But Little Scilla was found two days laterexploring the hull - and the stores - of his yacht Scilla.

But that wasn't the end of the story.

A fortnight later Bob had to call on the assistance of the Dungeness lifeboat and a trawler when he was taken ill again with stomach pains.

While he was in Rye hospital, his yacht capsized in the local harbour - with fears that Little Scilla was still on board.

Luckily, the kitten was found safe and given a good home by the RSPCA.

And Bob is well on the mend - although he has now decided to retire from the sea!.
