I was wrong, not in Peter Duck but is in Pigeon Post which I'd wondered about. Titty starts singing it to aid the travellers and dromedaries on their way to Tyson's in 'Trek to Tyson's'

Photo of page 84 from a 1st edition of Arthur Ransome's Pigeon Post. The words to the sea chanty Hanging Johnny take up the lower half of the page. They call me Hanging Johnny, Haul away, boys, Haul away. They say I hang for money, So Hang, boys, Hang. And first I hangs me mother; Haul away, boys, Haul away. Me sister and me brother, So Hang, boys, Hang. And next I hangs me granny, Haul away, boys, Haul away. I hangs her up so canny, So Hang, boys, Hang. A rope, a beam and a ladder, Haul away, boys, Haul away. And I'll hang you all togedder, So Hang, boys, Hang.

My cat Willow will only sit on my lap on a blanket. Much more comfortable for me in winter than in summer
