“Whistling Charlie’’
\R\V YORK Pttli 1 f* \VhP'i:;.rt-ri.p(l
McGinnis
rnmntl.- \frc
United States liner President Munir,
recently arrived at New ^ urk, front
London, -iter a trip through toe rough
est weather experienced on the Atlan
tic this winter, she brought a tiny pas
senger, who, before the vessel docked,
\va> known to everyone or. beard,from
stokehold to bridge.
Tills individual, who was interview
ed at length by reporters and photog
raphed more than any celebrity tori
has reached our shores in many inoi a-,
is, os he himself declares “Whistling
Charlie” McGinnis, of Richmond Hill,
L. I. Charlie, eighteen months oh:,
who was accompanied by his mother,
startled passengers on the way ever by
his many accomplishments.
The first of these was Ms ability tc
whistle, clearly and distinctly, any tune
I he heard. When he first hoarded the
President Munroe. and toddled nhoui
the decks of the ship, whistling, officers
and passengers, thinking some grown:
person was trilling the melodies, wer<
very astonished when Chariie, lips
puckered, would come Into view.
Charlie demonstrated his whistlinc
talent amid great apnlause at a shiph
concert, when, accompanied hv the
orchestra, he rendered several populai
numbers in professional manner.
But whistling, which he has hear
i lining since ten months old. was t'v
least of Charlie's accomplishment'. Hi
greatest ability was that to consnmi
food at any hour of the day or night.
Though at times the weather was s<
had that even the most seasoned travel
ers found themselves unable to eat r
real meal, Charlie was always at th<
dining room on time.
He attached himself to a steward
wha asw to It that hii meals wert
/
j nis was at tabic or not. Charlie would
breakfast heartily, and then *-tart his
j rounds of the President Munroe, visit
j ing the olficers and pas .engera all over 1
the «hip.
This duty done after each meal, he 1
! would go to the pantry, whistle « tune
| and then declare, politely, but firmly,
“Charlie hungry,” and stand by until j
l his endless appetite was 'temporarily
satisfied.
Stewards on the vessel declared that
at one time Charlie was the only one to j
1 appear in the dining room and was
; greatly envied b.v those pa sengeis,
who for the time being had no use for
1 food at all.
His correlation of food did not
| make Charlie Ta/y though, as was evi- j
denced when he discovered two ste- i
wards with gloves on, boxing in their
quarters. He insisted in having the I
big boxing gloves, which reached half j
way up his arms, put on him, and then
slugged furiously away, until nearly
exhausted. j
From that day on Charlie had a daily I
go with a steward who was formerly
a lightweight boxer and who declared
that the infant would some day be able
to handle his fists in good shape.
When the President Munroe docked
Charlie was missing.
After a search of the ship he was j
found in his favorite haunt, the pantry.
He refused to budge until given «i
big slice of bread and butter. Then he
would not leave the ship without box
1 inp globes.
Finally bread in one hand, gloves j
i dangling from the other, a cheery
whistle shrilling from his tiny puckered
I lips. Charlie was carried by his mother
to the pier, gone from the President
Munroe, but not forgotten.
