Tho captain, however, brought me a female puppy of a smooth, short haired breeel, which lie said was considered by gunners in Newfoundland as the best of water dogs. When a year old Fanny was about the size of a small pointer, say eighteen or twenty inches, with short black hair on body and tail, tho latter straight, ears small and rather K)inted and with a wild and somewhat wolfish eye, liko that of an Indian dog. Sho was rather savage in temper, except to myself, and would fight any dog of either sex. When sho was about a vcar old I took her with mo to Chicago, and tho first timo I had her out duck hunting she brought out mv ducks like a trained retriever, thougii sho had never beforo seen a frun fired. She could swim apd tiivo iko an otter and no crippled bird could escape her. Sho would diveolF of the Chicago pier and bring up n white object from the bottom in eigh teen or twenty feet of water. In thoso days plenty of ducks -could bo found on tho river just outside the village, for Chicago was then little more in 1840. On tho liver banks lived Irish squat ters who kept geese, and the first timo I took Fan alone: the river sho attacked a llx;k of tame cceso, killed tho gan der and brought nim to me. and I had to pay the enraged t,:d woman who owned tho geese.
