HOW FANNY WAS SAVED.
True Story of the Rescue of a Pretty
Dog from a Sinking Ship
In MidOcean.

Not many months ago Fanny was
struggling for life in the Atlantic's icy
waters, a thousand miles from land
while Capt. Scroggles, her owner, was
being taken in life-boat, with his half
clad, half-frozen crew, from their sink
ing steamship.
When the captain left the white cliffs
of England on the Dago, bound for
Baltimore, the weather was so pleasant
that the dog was deck passenger,
going from stern to forecastle, and TAX
ing her after-dinner nap in the sun.
A January gale struck the ship few
days out, and the force of the wind and
waves opened her seams and caused her
to founder Before she sank the Aller,
bound for New York, hove in sight and,
answering signal of Distress sent a
life-boat to the Dago.
Three times the brave German sailors
pulled from ship to ship with their
human freight, Capt. Scroggles and his
officers being the last to leave. It is
4 rule of the steamship company which
owns the Aller to save only human life
from a wreck. What was to be done
with the dog? 1t was the last trip.
The boat was dangerously loaded al
ready, and if she were taken aboard
the officer in charge would probably
lose his position.
There was Yankee seaman on the
Dago who had made friends with Fan
ny. ''Give me that rope in the stern,
captain" said he. II can rig it so we
can tow her."
AS the boat pulled away the dog was
dragged after it by rope fastened
around her body behind the forepaws.
Half the time buried in the waves. it
seemed as if she would be dead before
the long half-mile was traversed; but
she never whined, and now and then.
when she was at the surface, the cap
tain could see her paws working like
blades in a paddle-wheel to keep her
self afoat.
Fanny evidently realized that it was a
life struggle, and tried to aid the men
by taking the line in her teeth when too
much exhausted to use her limbs. This
kept her head above water until she
could regain strength enough to swim.
At last the ships side was reached.
Just at that moment. however, the rope
slipped and the dog was adrift. Two
of the sailors caught her forepaws as
a wave threw her toward the boat, ard
the Alters captain graciously allowed
her to be drawn up in it to the davits,
after the men had scrambled up the
sides with the aid of a rope ladder. She
was taken to New York and thence sent

Three yellow China silk frills are sewed

UNREASONABLE. Look at the low per-

NEW YORK, Sept. 2-The Herald's

following: Spain still hopes for Euro
