some years ago. ship bound for china had
ON board. among other passengers, an officer.
his wifs. their only child. little boy five years
old, and large Newfoundland dog called
"Bobby."
Everybody in the ship liked Bobby" he
was SO good-tempered and frolicsome but the
little boy was the dogs constant playmate.
He was - fond of Bobby Is Bobby was Of him.
One evening. while they were rompipg together.
the ship gave roll, and splash went the child
into the sea!
A cry was raised, "a hand over! hand
over p and the brave dog jumped over the
side OF the ship, and swan towards the stern.
The little boys father. half frantic, leaped
with others into boat; bat it was too dark
to see far before them. All gave the child up
for lost.
At last they heard . noise on the left side
of the ship. "Pull on! quick ~ cried the
father. The boat was turned, the men pulled
with greater force, and "Bobby," holding up
The child with his mouth, was soon along side !!
The hslfdroxncd boy was recovered; and the
noble dog was patted and caressed by all.
At the Cape OF Good Hope the passengers
were to be landed. The officer got into the
sailors to hold the Newfoundland dog tight by
the collar till the boat was some distance from
the ship. ~ gu will then see," said he, "what
strong swimmer be u.s." Bobby pulled and
tugged to get loose !; but all in vain they held
him till the boat was near the shore. But no
sooner did the officer give the signal than he
sprarg into the sea.
Suddenly the poor animal set up shrili
howl. and threw himself almost cut OF the wa
ter. At first it was thought he had been
seized with cramp; but il was worse than that
. shark was pursuing him! "a shark a
shark - sounded from the boat to the ship.
Bobby swan right and left, Owed and turned,
showed his teeth, and never allowed the shark
time to turn on his back, without doing which
the monster could not bite him.
The officer in the boat soon saw that there
was little chance of reaching the spot in time
to save the dog. Poor Bobby swan as fast as
he could, and was almost tired out. stop
rowing" cried the officer to the men, "and
turn the beat round" Just at tlsis moment
the shark which had got very close to his ex>
pecied prey, turned on his back and opened
his terrible mouth. Bobby was all but gone
His master rose, leveled his gun, and fired In
moment the water was tinged with blood :
the shark disappeared.
The men then rowed to the spot where Bobby
was swimming about The officer pulled the
dog into the boat the child threw his little
ar;is around him and the men in the boat,
and the sailors in the ship, cried out with joy.
.'Hurrah! hurrahi Bobby is safe the shark
is killed Hurrah p Early Days.
