Alaskan Dog Meets South Sea Cat. Then the cat came aboard - at Tarawa, Coast Guard officers rescued a frightened, half-starved kitten from a shell-smashed Jap pill-box. They brought her aboard, named her "Tarawa" and installed her in the Officer's Quarters of the LST. "Kodiak," the crew's mascot, liked the gals, but not cat gals. A great cloud settled over his life. Shucks! What business has a cat aboard a hard-hitting, bomb dodging LST.
