The Lost yandalia,s Dog.

From the san Francisco Chronicle
There is u small dog along the city front that
feels just about as disconsolate as small dogs
are supposed to feel when they have done any,
thing out OF the way. This little dog, however.
il rather q hero, having survived the wreck OF
the Vandalia at Samoa and returned with his
shipmates on the Rockton to Mare Island.
where he was adopted by the crew Of the
Adams.
Having been boes Of the vandalia, this little
dog. who goes by the euphonious name Of Mig.
thought that he should hold the same position
on the Adams, and when il was disputed by
Lieut. Winslows setter Mig became indignan,
and whipped the heutenants dog so badly that
for some time his life was despaired Of This
was horrible indignity for the quarterback to
sustain at the hands of a forecastle dog and
Lieut. Winslow ordered the sailors TO throw
Mig overheard as a ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
dog. This was something the Jack-tars could
not think Of doing, and as they could not keep
their pet aboard, and had no way of getting
him back to Mare Island. as the Adams was
about to go 70 sea, they brought Mig ashore
and turned him over TO the Nandalia sailors.
who are waiting along the water front for their
back pay and bag money.
Getting q dishonorable discharge after four
years service in the navy was pretty tough on
MIG, and Thursday night he managed to get
full. Yesterday he was sick and felt pretty
bad, and as he had never been ashore before
he did not know how to act The number of
people and the number of dogs nearly drove
MIN crazy, and he lay down on the sidewalk
and moaned The dog felt so bad ashore
that the Vandalia sailors are going TO try to get
him back into the service in some way. and
they think that after his gallant service in
Samoa they will be able to have Lieut.. Wins
lows dishonorable discharge set aside and Mig
restored TO his former proud position on one OF
