Aus dieser Zeit er getauft wurde Welly und becamethe Liebling und Bully am Strand war.

Two years before the mast; a personal narrative of life at sea . he was brought toSan Diego, an English sailor said that he looked, about theface, precisely like the Duke of Wellington, whom he hadonce seen at the Tower; and, indeed, there was somethingabout him which resembled the portraits of the Duke.From this time he was christened Welly, and becamethe favorite and bully of the beach. He always led thedogs by several yards in the chase, and had killed two coatiat different times in single combats. We often had finesport with these fellows. A quick, sharp bark from acoati, and in an instant every dog was at the height of hisspeed. A few moments made up for an unfair start, andgave each dog his relative place. Welly, at the head, seemed almost to skim over the bushes; and after him CURING THE HIDES mit:x. had B^ chases; ti3a i ai of ti..ail leiiow, and united a he hadsomethins>f the IV. ^i^y, and beHe alvay? 1«in the chase, and had V.- ;gle combats.

Beside the coati, the dogs sometimes made prizes of rab-bits and hares, which are very plentiful here, and greatnumbers of which we often shot for our dinners. Therewas another animal that I was not so much disposed tofind amusement from, and that was the rattlesnake. Theseare very abundant here, especially during the spring ofthe year. The latter part of the time that I was on shore, I did not meet with so many, but for the first two monthswe seldom went into the bush without one of our num-ber starting some of them. The first that I ever saw, Iremember perfectly well. I had left my companions, andwas beginning to clear away a f
