Her name was Red Lead, and she was the ship's cat, beloved by the crew and by the Perth'slegendary captain Hector Waller. But surviving shellfire, torpedoes and the fierce currents of the Sunda Strait was only the beginning of the terrible trials Red Lead and the surviving crew were to face over the next three-and-a-half years.
