ONE DOG AND ANOTHER.
A sea dog,was very kind to a land dog the other day. ■ The land dog was a terrier named Rupert and the sea dog was the'captain of an Isle of Wight steamer. Bupert and his mistress were on board as the steamer made her way up Southampton Water, and Bupert, who had not had time to get his sea legs, fell through the rails. In. a few minutes Bupert was just a ; speck struggling in the wake of the steamer, and his mistress was in tears. The captain.might have said it was all Bupert's fault and that he had to run to a time-table, but, instead,: he ordered full:speed" astern. The mate .made a. noose with some rope, lassoed Bupert's head, and hauled him on board,.amid the greatest excitement on the part of the passengers. Bupert was not cowed or exhausted, tiy his adventure,' and after shaking himself began to trot about the deck as if nothing had happened.
