On the Both of November, 1891, the
bnrque Callerou, Capt. souter. left
Hull, England, bound for Port Eliza
beth. A North Sea pilot was on
board. He will never return.
About two months after the barque
had left the Humber, word was re-
ceived at Hull, from a little place
called Westerland, to the effect that
a bucket marked Callerou was washed
ashore on the Rantum strand.
When the barque sailed for Port
Elizabeth there was on board a young
apprentice named George Dawson,
making his first voyage 1t was this
boy who was destined TO be the means
of parting the veil of mystery sur
rounding the loss of the Calerou.
Early in January, 1898, somebody
picked up on the shore at Kilnsea,
near Hull a slip of wood about three
feet long and a few inches wide. On
one side of the board was written, in
pencil, the following remarkable mes

A prober into startling facts makes
the astonishing statement that it costs
as much yearly to keep a dog as it
does to keep sixty hens, and sixty
hens will lay 5000 eggs while a dog
will not lay any.
Very true, but there are eXtenuating
circumstances in favor of the dog and
against the hens. To begin with.

sees you coming home from a hard

welcome you, she ducks her head with
a cry of remonstrance and takes to
the tall grass. A dog cannot lay eggs,
but neither does he creep through the
fence and eat all the early tomatoes.
What good is hen as watch dog?
No good at all And you will admit
it. Did a hen ever go and fetch Ii"

rescue a drowning baby or warn of
calamitous danger? True, dog has
