Rob Jackson’s Dog
A dog in a mill pond with a boy being stopped by a man from jumping in and another boy looking on.
Rob Jack-son’s dog jumped off the lit-tle bridge in-to the mill pond to fetch a stick that Hal Jones threw for him. The wheel was in full mo-tion, and Jack, for that was the dog’s name, was drawn in toward it. Rob was a-fraid that Jack was go-ing to be drowned and was just a-bout to jump in af-ter him, when one of the mill hands held him fast. “Wait a bit,” said the man, and he held out a long pole to Jack who clutched it with his teeth and was drawn safely to land.
