It was the English leopard showing his claws.” “We’re definite in Nova Scotia—’bout things like ships ... and fish, the best in the world.” “All sailors pause to watch a steamer, and shout in welcome or derision. In one a large Newfoundland dog put his paws on the rail and stood up as high as any of them, and looked as wise.
