Nobody knows quite how a three-foot long ferret got onto the Blackfish. All the crew can tell you is that one day when Mr. Cluny was making spicy noodles for the crew there was a loud shout from the galley, and a massive ferret stained yellow and orange jumped out of the cooking pot.
The experience of nearly being supper hasn't dampened Spice Noodle's enthusiasm for the culinary arts however, as most days the giant mustelid can be found wrapped around Cluny's neck like a scarf and enthusiastically sampling anything offered.
