A well-known minister of Austin, Texas, retells a story which
was related to him by a friend living in Lawrence, Massachusetts:
“He raised a dog, crossed with hound and pointer, and littered
in Lawrence. When a year old he took the young dog to Boston,
got on board of a sailing-vessel, went by sea and river to
Bangor, Maine, drove forty miles into the woods at Cleveland’s
Camp and hunted there two weeks, the dog proving to be a great
success for quick, fast runs and returns to camp.
“After the hunting was over and while on his back trip to
Bangor, the dog jumped from the wagon into the bushes, having
heard or smelled a deer, and went off on a hot chase. The boats
ran only once in two weeks, so that, much as he valued the
dog, it was necessary to go on. He took the boat at Bangor,
returned by river and sea to Boston and back to Lawrence. About
two weeks afterward the dog crawled into his yard, footsore
and half-starved, but safe at home and glad to get back.”
