Summary: This is the heart-warming tale of Mrs Chippy, a tomcat who was a loyal and loved companion to the ship's carpenter and crew on Ernest Shackleton's 1914 expedition to the Antarctic aboard the Endurance, captained by New Zealander Frank Worsley. The cat proved to be a great rat-catcher, and the crew felt he was their lucky charm. (Publisher)
