Mr. Ingleby was one of the sailors on the ship that sailed overseas with Dick’s cat on board.   He is pictured here in the Sultan’s court, now identified as Keith Wheatman (the Sultan). Keith Wheatman confirms with: “Indeed that is me looking quite silly! The beginning and end of my acting career. Thanks for giving my daughter a good laugh.”
