Dutchman” He was an Irish terrier Also he had a craze for the sea which made an Australian newspaper give him the title of Flying Dutchman A queer dog with a queer story attached to his myriad ex- ploits You remember of ooifse the old legend of Vanderdecken the Netherlands who wu condemned to sail the sees forever leaving every port almost as soon as he touched at it He was known in as "The Flying Dutchman" And for that same seagoing and trait Paddy received Vanderdecken’s nickname If ever a dog deserved the name Paddy sea-stayi- did I have told you once or twice of dogs that were daft about traveling all day and every day on railroad trains and of the unexplainable twist of brain which led them to such careers of eternal wanderWell Paddy had a nautical ing phase of that same mental twist He could not or would not stay on shore anywhere Where he came from nobody seemed to know nor who Was his master if ever he had one He was seen first strutting along the docks and seaside streets of Wellington New Zealand several "years ago Wanted No Owner He had no owner Apparently he wanted none He was the gay friend of all the sailors he met on the waterfront and he fraternized with them as with an equal But he would not devote himself exclusively to any one of them Paddy’s jolly Irish independence his love for a fight or for a wild romp his coaxing ways when he wanted a favor done in his behalf — all of these things endeared him to the sailorfolk They accepted him as a pal and they asked no questions Pay son Terhune sail-orm- sea-tast- es ed 10-C- spree-seeki- Prizes
