Pointer, setter, lurcher, foxhound, greyhound, Indian mongrel, miserable cur or beautiful Esquimaux, all alike are destined to pull a sled of some kind or other during, the months of snow and ice: all are destined to howl under the driver's lash; to tug wildly at the moose-skin collar; to drag until they can drag no more, and then to die.
A month later Christopher's conversation with Carraway returned to him, when, coming one morning from the house with his dogs at his heels and his squirrel gun on his shoulder, he found Will Fletcher and a troop of spotted foxhound puppies awaiting him outside the whitewashed gate. "I want to speak to you a moment, Mr. Blake," began the boy, in the assured tones of the rich man to the poor.
One of the Frenchman's masts had gone over the side; but before many minutes had elapsed, a crashing sound overhead showed that the Foxhound had been equally unfortunate. Her foremast had been shot away by the board, carrying with it the bowsprit and maintopmast. She was thus rendered almost unmanageable, but still her brave captain maintained the unequal contest.
The rest of the enemy's squadron were still in sight, scattered here and there, and considerably ahead of the Menager; the frigate was, however, gaining on the latter, and if the wind held, would certainly be up with her some time in the afternoon. Every stitch of canvas she could carry was set on board the Foxhound. It was already five o'clock.
When you pick up the bark of a foxhound you'll be off Pigeon Point." Florry's laughter drowned a further description of the dog-barking navigator's wonderful knowledge of Pacific Coast canines, and after some small talk Matt said good-bye and hung up.
It is as impossible to lay down a hard-and-fast rule as to the age at which a girl may be allowed to mount a pony or donkey, as it is to control the spirits and daring of a foxhound puppy. Those who possess the sporting instinct and the desire to emulate the example of their hunting parents or friends, should certainly be encouraged and taught to ride as soon as they manifest their wish to do so.
Of course they could see but little of what was going forward, but through one of the ports they at last caught sight of the enemy, which appeared to be considerably larger than the Foxhound. "We have been and caught a Tartar," Bill heard one of the seamen observe. "Maybe. But whether Turk or Tartar, we'll beat him," answered another.
The terrier eagerly watching for vermin the sporting dog standing staunch to his point, however he may be annoyed by the blunders of his companion or the unskilfulness of his master the foxhound, insensible to a thousand scents, and deaf to every other sound, while he anxiously and perseveringly searches out the track of his prey these are striking illustrations of the power of attention.
The Foxhound was hove-to to windward of the prize, while three of the boats were lowered and pulled towards her. The third lieutenant of the Foxhound was sent in command, and the Menager's boats being also lowered, her officers and crew were transferred as fast as possible on board their captor.
I think he would have won the prize of his class at the Dublin Dog Show, had it not been for a terrible accident he met with in being wounded by a large foxhound in a neighbouring orchard. His neck was then torn open, and he was rescued by John only in time to prevent his being killed.
