As he came first class, passage. the price was $125. He was named Crowley. He took -to Keeper Cook from the first, and until his death they were the best of friends. He was very intelligent and I believe was as near human as an animal could be. He would sit at a_table to eat, put- , ting on a napkin and usinga `knife, ' fork and spoon when necessary. When he had finished` he would use the nap- kin, carefully fold it up and lay it beside his plate. About two weeks before he died a severeattack of pneumonia. set in, and Dr. Marsh, surgeon of the park police, was called. Every morning when the doctor entered the room he. would say, Good morning, Crowley, and Crowley would get up to shake `hands. Then the doctor -would say, How are V you this . morning? and Crowley would grin. The doctor would examine him and say, Your pulse, , -Crowley," and Crowley would extend ' ; his hand. . breast. Now your lungs, and Crowley would throw back his arms to allow the "doctor to place his ear to his And now your back,` Crow- . ley, and he would turn hisback.
