Monkeys Run Wild Aboard Banana Laden Steamship Baker
Aboard the banana steamship Baker bound for New York from Port Antonio three baboons and fourteen monkeys perched aloft on the fore and main masts plus a trio of baboons caused a commotion aboard Pier 1. The crew fought fruit theft as the animals, part of a traveling troupe, toppled bananas and escaped during a storm. Capt. Certel ordered seizure of the beasts, but trainers and crew hesitated to touch them, delaying containment for forty eight hours amid a belt of unruly primates and a goose and dogs roaming the ship. The tale blends exploits of the peripatetic monkey theater with New York bound adventure.
