I was in the bushes in our new colony getting some grass for some of our horses when a dog like creature behind me started to sniff me. As I went to the barracks the Captain inquired ,“ Was that a  native dog behind you”. “ Yes ,Sir,” I replied. “We might need that”, thought the Captain. “After all we don’t have a hunting dog, Boys we’re going hunting,” he declared. “Yes ,Sir,” they all replied.

 

 

I went with my fellow friend /soldier to get that hunting dog. Suddenly we heard a growl. “ Did you heard that,” he said. “No,” I said. “ Anyways, I want you to go that way,” he whispered.

Were they friends I wondered.

 

Then came a distinct voice, “ Dan have you got him”. Quickly, I got the rope and put it around the creatures neck. Then I heard a distinct cheer. AS I got the dog and walked it out of the bush I took it back to the barracks. “ Hey you, never escape from here because, see those muskets there , they are fully loaded,” I warned.

 

Suddenly, the dog started sniffing. As it waddled around so did I. Then it took me out of the camp. “Ouch,” I said. As my fellow friend who had caught a glimpse of what had a happened he quickly called the captain shouting, “ The natives a attacking.” When the captain came out it suddenly stopped. He got his telescope out and looked and there It was. It was Warruwi…
