This isn't a dog story, but, come to
think OF 1t, little brindly mongrel
cur figures pretty prominently in 1t.
Jock never posed as hero, and guess
he isn't one. I've seen him run from a
bigger dog, yelping for dear life and
curling that tail between his legs like
an ostrich burying its head in the sand.
Jock simply came to me, and toler-
ated him because he showed so much
affection for a forlorn, homesick engi-
neer doing duty In distant land.
Jock and 1 went everywhere, slept
together, ate together and tramped the
country like two old outcasts. But he
wasn't good for much else than COM
panion. He was too lazy to keep
awake at night to watch out for dan
ger and too big a coward to stand be-
tween me and another man or animal.
When 1 was commissioned to inspect
the new docks and piers that the gov
eminent was having built In Manila
bay JOCK and 1 prepared for sundry
little excursions along as pretty a coast
as any man laid eyes on.
On the fifth day out from Manila
we reached the new government dock,
where heavy supplies for the army
were to be landed for shipment to the
interior. This was large wooden
affair running 500 feet into the bay
The contractors had just finished their
work, and the government was waiting
for my final report before accepting 1t.
The dock was firmly built Of huge
piles driven into the soft mud and
sand and boarded up on both sides to
keep the floating debris from collecting
under it. There was an entrance under
the dock at the extreme end, but one
could enter it only at low tide.
1t was a very hot day, and after
making a close examination Of the
dock l decided at noon to eat lunch
under the cool shade Of the mammoth
wooden floor and then take nap.
Jock made no objection to this un-
spoken proposition, but wagged his
tail with intuitive appreciation Of my
plans. l pushed the small fat bottom
ed boat which carried our days sup
plies under the dock and proceeded to
enjoy myself.
The tide was very low, and pushed
the boat halfway up the shelving shore
and left 1t with anchor thrown over
the bow. Jock ate all the dinner 1
could not swallow and then patiently
Struggled up to my side and blinked his
eyes sleepily.
The place was very conducive to
slumber, and was soon fast asleep,
and Jock was no better off. We must
have slept for hours. I woke with a
start and found darkness around us.
For a few moments / was too puz-
zled to make out my position. I could
not believe that night was upon us, for

breathed easier and found my posi-
ton more comfortable. There was a
good six inch space for the head, and
could rest my elbows under the seat of
the boat. 1t was all question now of
whether there was sufficient air to sup
port the two Of us for half an hour or
less. BY that time, judged, the tide
would turn and we could crawl out.
The water could not rise up higher
under the boat on account of the i'm
prisoned air, but our breathing steadily
exhausted the oxygen Of the latter and
added to our discomfort
My nerves grew tense and snappy,
and my senses began to reel. Jock, too,
ceased to bark and whine. A great
slumber appeared to possess us. How

to judge, but when my head seemed

lungs until they ceased their painting.
Then, remembering Jock, reached I'M

side ready as ever to rest and sleep.
Later l examined the high level Of
the tide under the dock and found that
the water had come up TO within half

have lived there, and had not Jock

 Only in a remote corner of the era ter was there any remaining sign of activity, according to the explorers. Som steam and sulphurous smoke was emitted there. The remainder of the floor was covered with dried mud cakes. ashes and jagged rocks on which the ice was fast encroaching.
