FROM THE SPECTATOR:' 95 



he " put up " I do not know, but he used 

 to stay there until Wednesday evening, when 

 he would calmly walk into the station, take 

 his place in the train, and return to Port 

 Elizabeth in that way, thus completing his 

 " circular tour " by a railway journey of 

 about eight hundred miles. 



He was well known by the officers and 

 sailors of the Norham, and her commander, 

 Captain Alexander Winchester (who can 

 vouch for these facts), told me that, as the 

 dog seemed fond of the sea, he had deter- 

 mined to give him a long voyage for a 

 change, and had kept him shut up on board 

 during the ship's stay at Cape Town. 



Jack was evidently very uneasy at being 

 taken on beyond his usual port, and he was 

 on the point of slipping into a boat for the 

 shore at Madeira, probably with a view of 

 returning to the Cape by the next steamer, 

 when I called the captain's attention to him, 

 and he was promptly shut up again. I said 

 good-bye to him at Plymouth, and hope he 

 found his way home safely on the return 

 voyage. 



EX-COLONIST.
