When he reached Washington, he 

 called on the Postmaster General, who 

 ordered a harness to take the place of 

 his overloaded collar. After some fur- 

 ther traveling he went to San Francisco, 

 where he was awarded a medal and fitted 

 out with a regular traveling bag, in which 

 to carry his blanket, comb and brush, 

 harness and credentials. Thus duly 

 equipped, he took passage on the steam- 

 ship Victoria, as the guest of Captain 



Panton. Arriving at Yokohama, he was 

 given the freedom of the Japanese Em- 

 pire under the personal seal of the Mi- 

 kado. After doing Japan in regulation 

 distinguished-visitor style, he then went 

 to Foochow, where he was entertained 

 aboard the U. S. S. Detroit, dining on 

 lobscouse and plum duff in the mess- 

 room. 



Thence Owney went to Hongkong, 

 received a personal passport from the 

 Chinese Emperor, and then headed for 

 Singapore, Suez, and Western Europe.
