ugly cur thathe called Major. Old Moss was
seated with anumber Of men in the cabin, and
AZ WAS usual With him, was Boosting OF what he
could do. Th, captain, who was standing near,
remarked tha what he said might be true, but
he did not blieve it. Moss replied that he
would bet hin treats for all the gentlemen
present that e would make his dog do three
things, be telling him to do them. The cap
tain took the5et.
Old Moss ten opened the door and went
out on the gurds, followed by the captain and
the genilemei present, who were quite anx-
ious 20 see th'sport. Moss seized his dog by
the nape OF tn neck and tossed him overheard.
As soon as haouched the water, Moss yelled
out
"Swim, Msor, SWIM
The dog swan, Of course. Moss kept his
eyes on the DC. As soon as he perceived that
the dog couli touch the ground, he yelled
out
"Wade, MsDr, wadei" z
6fsior wada till he landed on the ground.
