a few days with a relative, Capt. Pitman, and Ponto being a mem- 
ber of the family, we took him along, going by rail, and landing 
at one end of the city, Capt. Pitman was then living near Elm 
and Washington streets, and Ponto remained there a week, but 
did not go around the city, and returned home by the same way 
that we went. The following summer Capt. Pitman having left 
Newport, his father was accustomed to take Ponto occasionally to 
Silver Spring (about twelve miles from Providence). One day

of the city, where he had never been, and from thence found

tried to turn him away, but he was bound to remain and make 
himself at home, which he did until the lady, who was then oc- 
cupying the house, could write to Providence, when we sent for 
him. Now, how he could have found his way to the house in the 
short space of time, and after six months time, and never having
