owNEY on us Travels.
The Famous Albany Postofice DOG and
His Voyage 20 China


Ills Voyage 60 China
On Aug. 10, 1895, Owney was pho
tographed, walked up the gang
plank of the good ship Victoria of
the y. p. s. s. Co. and was well |
coined by Captain Panton, whose
guest he was to be Owney h&d his |
credentials in a travelling bag, and /
he carried also his blanket, brush |
and comb. his metal harness for /
full dress and letters of introduction
to tho postal authorities of the
world. AS the steamer backed out
from the dock hundreds of people
waved their hands and wished Ow-
ney a safe and prosperous voyage,
and so the trip began. -
Owney was soon the pet of the
crew, and after an uneventfuk voy 4
age he arrived at Yokohama on Oct.
3. Here his baggage was examined
with no little curiosity by the off,
cials, as no dignitary had before en-
tered Japan who owned so many
decorations that he was obliged 70
carry them. in heg. r
Itwas concluded thatOwney must
be either a dog of very high rank or
the property of II distinguished per
son, and an account of him was
promptly forwarded for the infor-
nation of his imperial majesty tho
mikado.
A few days later an official waited
upon Owney and presented him
with a passport bearing the seal of
the mikado It wRs addressed to the
American dog traveller, and III very
fowery language extended to him
the freedom of the interior country.
There were some stipulations, which
in all probability Owney would have
/. agreed to had he made the trip.
Some were a follows: The bearer
is expressly cautioned to observe in
every particular the directions Ct
the JapaneEo government printed in
japanese characters on the back oi
the passport, an English translation
X of which is given herewith, and ht
r is expected and required to conduct
!, himself. in an orderly and concilia
z / tory manner toward the Japanes,
authorities and people" The pass
port also forbade him 70 attend 1
= fire on horseback, warned him no
e to write "on temples, shrines oi
walls, " ana politely requested hin
not to drive too fast on marrow
S roads.
. . There was no time for side tr4rs
and, after meeting many ofiCElis
Owney sailed from Yokols2nla. AZ
irving at kobi ON Oct: 9, where d
n received medals and ] new pa sqa.
: from tho emperor. He was q. 1i..j
Oct. 10, Shanghai Oct. 20 and Fu

observation (still standing on the chair,
