DOG SAVES LIVES
Tiny Chow Responsible For Safety of 21 Members of the Tankcn Chukky.

Manila, T. H.. March ? (UP)-A tiny chow dog saved the lives of q members of the crew of the Tanker Chukky, wrecked by an explosion off the Japanese coast, according to Chief Engineer Jerry C. Sheehan. Sheehan and eleven other members of the crew arrived here aboard the S. S. President Pierce.
 The Chukky was wrecked two weeks ago. The crew took to the lifeboats and was adrift without navigating instruments.
 Tt was Ming's nose and his dog instinct which saved us" Sheehan said.
 "We didn't know one direction from another. Ming, who is owned by First Assistant Engineer Buckley, caught our attention as he stood in the bow, sniffing the air like a setter to wind a grouse.
 He kept his nose in one direction and we pointed the boat in that di- rection.
 "We reached some Japanese fish ing boats after we had drifted, sailed and rowcd for six hours"
