to find one of the young dogs, the ani
mal having found its way back over an ;
untrodden country of 4oo miles in ex-;
tent with no compass or guide rave)
that of instinct.
The dog would not, in his present '
condition, appeul to a sausage maker,
as he is thin almost to cadaverousness,
having had to live by hunting on the
long journey.
Grainger brought the dog to town
yesterday evening and will put him in
condition to tempt some other Tanapa
inusher the coming winter.
