While laborers were dischargng lot
of telegraph-wire from the steamship De
Ruvter at New York on Wednesday they
found n small black-and-tan terrier in the
centre Of a coil that lay on the floor Of the
ship. lie had been slowed away there in
some wav while the ship was loading. and
was unable to escape. During the passage
the wire had been shifted, and one leg OF the
little animal was caught under the coil. The
leg was broken, and he was pinned down
for no one knows how many days. The
shin sailed from Antwerp on May 18th, so
that the poor brute must have been without
food or water for twenty-five days. lie was
very cross when found, and bit the band
OF one OF the men who attempted to release
him, making a very painful wound. His
temper improved after he had some water.
His broken leg and his general health were
attended to by the ships surgeon, and he
will hereafter serve as one OF the crew OF
the De Ruyter.
