J., stands a small grave- stone with the following inscription: BLACK DOG .1939-195- 7 A Good Shipmate. The installation of this stone in 1959 stirred up a great deal of curiosity among sailors and officers stationed there. Who was Black Dog? Only a handful of Navy still around to tell his story. It started back in 1944 when a small, ugly mutt decided to join the Navy. He showed up one day at Fisher's Island, N.Y., where a detachment-o- blimps was stationed. Since sailors are inclined to adopt stray dogs, ugly or not, this homeless mongrel, was taken into the outfit. The men never did get around to giving him a name, referring to him simply as "Black Dog." He appeared to be at least five years old at thetime, although judged by the countless battle scars on his body,, he might have been older. He probably was a- - cross between a boxer and a chow. There was short black hair on his head and fawn-colorhair on his chest and belly. He walked on bowed legs and sported a whiplike, almost hairless tail. One ear was split and flopped over while the other stood erect. All in all, he didn't present a handsome appearance no matter how charitable you tried to be in : describing him. Black Dog was fiercely, independent. , Sometimes he snowed some slight affection for enlisted men, but he was almost openly contemptuous when an officer tried to be friend .him. He knew his way around and never failed to turn up at the right place for chow, or to climb aboard the proper old-timers-w- f NAME. a S U P R E M E By LIEUT. (JG) C. E. ALDRICH $T. LOUIS 8.
