a little dog.

What is that island yonder 90 asked
the man of the first mate, who was leah
ing over the bulwark near him.
The man shaded his eyes and looked.
'HThat? Oh, that's a desert island.
We're out of our course, through the
fogs, good bit, or we shouldn't be
near it. +"
"Don't ships ever go nearer than this
to it ?"
"No fear. There's generally nasty
rocks off such places. We always keep
as far away from 'em as we can.
That night, shortly after dark, the
Captain, walking round the ship, must
have noticed an unusual appearance on
the port side, for one of the boats was
missing.
And so were the man and the dog.
And the man and the dog are sitting
side by side now, as this confession is
written, and the boat is high and dry on
the desert island, where it has been their
hut and home for ten long years

From the Times, Aug. Is, 49,:
The ship Jemima, Capt. Bowles, with iron
rails and cutlery from Ujiji reached Millwall
tleman and his dog, who were discovered
by Capt. Bowles son Thomas, on a desert
island, where they had been cast away ten
/ years ago.
There is no reason now why this con-
fession, written on that island, should, be
kept from the public. Pickle is agree
