At Petropavlovsk a Kamchadale dog became a passenger for San Francisco.
Immediately on being loosed he took possession aft and drove the Esquimaux forward.

During the whole passage he retained his place on the quarter deck and in the cabin.

Occasionally he went forward for a promenade, but he never allowed the other dog to go abaft the mainmast.

The Esquimaux endeavored to establish amicable relations, but the Kamchadale rejected all friendly overtures.
I heard of a dog on one of the Honolulu packets that took his turn at duty with the regularity of a sailor, coming on deck when his watch was called and retiring with it to the forecastle.

When the sails flapped from any cause and the clouds indicated a sudden shower, the dog gave warning with a bark--on the sea.
