The trunk and limbs were found by diflferent parties and made over to the police, who discovered reason to suspect Fish, and his house was searched, but without result. On April i6th, nineteen days after the atrocity was committed, a second sear(^ was made with the assistance (rf a Salicylic Acid Vs Benzoyl Peroxide half-bred bloodhound and a spaniel. The dogs were taken straight to Fish's house; they hunted round the shop, and when taken upstairs hunted round the back room ; they were then taken to the front room and '* marked'* at the fireplace : the charred re- mains of the skull and some bones 1899-1 THE MAN-HUNTING BLOODHOUND. 415 -were found within arm's reach of the damper. Now, to point out that this was not tracking as bloodhounds tracked thieves in the old days and negroes more recently, is no disparagement of services that brought a ruffian to his richly deserved end. The two dogs were taken to the house and turned loose to find what they might ; they followed no track, and though the newspaper reports do not touch the point, it seems wildly improbable that they could have possessed any foreknowledge of the character of the remains concealed in the chimney. Suppose they had been made to smell the little victim's clothing, it could have availed them nothing — would rather have baffled them under the circum- stances. Therefore the idea that the means by which the Black- burn murderer was brought to justice is an example of the value of bloodhound assistance to the police must be dismissed as a popular error. It is not denied that after a few generations of training they vtigJit be used with success to Benzoyl Peroxide Face Wash track criminals ; but it must be denied that the oft- quoted case has bearing upon the matter. The mind naturally reverts to slavery in the West Indies, Cuba more especially, in connection with the man-hunting bloodhound. Dogs were trained to track down runaway slaves, but it is some- what difficult to arrive at a just conclusion concerning the conduct of these man himts, for accounts differ widely. Contemporary writers who upheld slavery pre- served silence on the subject of bloodhounds, and the advocates for Abolition painted the horrors of slavery in colours so lurid that the impartial seeker after truth is at a loss to know Benzoyl Peroxide 5 Gel how much or how little he should believe. Captain Marcus Rainsford, in his " Historical Account of the Black Empire of Hayti " Topical Benzoyl Peroxide (London, 1805), gives a sickening account of the method of training the dogs. Apropos of the guerilla war be- tween the French colonists and maroons (runaway slaves) in Hayti, he says that the whites employed a considerable number of bloodhounds, some of which they procured from the Spanish part of the island, but most from Cuba, to pursue small recon- noitering parties of the blacks. He thought that ** the quadruped which is the subject of this ac- count is, though of a similar species to the Irish wolf Benzoyl Peroxide Topical - dog breed, a native of the South Seas." In the Spanish West Indies, he informs us, they were commonly used in the chase of runaway negroes in the moun- tains. " When once they got Best Benzoyl Peroxide scent of Benzoyl Peroxide And Clindamycin Gel the object, they immedi- ately hunted him down, and unless he climbed a tree, killed and devoured him.*' According to Captain Rainsford, these dogs were so ferocious that they must have been Facial Wash With Benzoyl Peroxide a source of loss to the slave-owners rather than of profit ; they frequently broke loose, he says, and then killed every negro they might encounter. The reader may be spared details of the method of training the young dogs to tear to pieces and devour negroes by means of black wicker dummies shaped like men and filled with offal. It is not agree- able reading, and its accuracy is at least doubtful. Now let . us consult another historian of about the same date, Robert Charles Dallas' " History of the Maroons,*' published in London, 1805. His opportunity of describing the Cuban blood- hound occurs in Product With Benzoyl Peroxide the Maroon Rising in Jamaica at the end of the last century. About Benzoyl Peroxide Gel 5 the year 4i6 baily's magazine. Dc^E 1738, many maroons had been allowed Benzoyl Peroxide Wash 10 to settle in the northern parts of the island, and after many troubles arising from their in- trigues with the colonists' slaves, they united under a leader named Cudjoe, and maintained a guerilla warfare with success for eight or nine years. The war was almost abruptly terminated by the then Governor of Jamaica, the Earl of Balcarres, who in 1795 sent Mr. Quarrell Benzoyl Peroxide Skin over to Havana to pro- cure bloodhounds. Don Clindamycin Benzoyl Peroxide Gel Luis de las Casas, with Spanish courtesy, allowed Mr. Quarrell to engage men and dogs, though having done so he wrote to Lord Bal- carres to point out that the colonial law of Spain forbade even the landing of that gentle- man. With this Benzoyl Peroxide 10 Wash detail we have nothing to do, however. Mr. Quarrell brought back to Jamaica with him forty Chasseurs del Rey with their dogs, to the number of 104. Mr. Dallas describes these animals rather vaguely as being ** the size of a very large hound with ears erect, usually cropped at the point ; nose more pointed, (?) but widening much towards the after part of the jaw." The coat or skin of the dog used for hunt- ing slaves, he adds, was much harder than that of any other dog, and he attributes this to the cruel beatings inflicted by the Chasseurs del Rey in training them. It is impossible not to feel that Mr. Dallas' account has more of Benzoyl Peroxide Facial Wash the ring of truth than Captain Rainsford's. Clindamycin Phosphate Benzoyl Peroxide He avers that the dogs of these Benzoyl Peroxide Product Cliasseurs del Rey of Havana — Benzoyl Peroxide Vs Salicylic Acid professional man- hunters in the pay of the Spanish Government — would not kill the object of pursuit unless the fugitive resisted ; on coming up with the runaway they barked at him until he stopped, when they Benzoyl Peroxide Treatment crouched Benzoyl Peroxide Shampoo near him, growling if he ventured to move, and barking to notify their owners that the quarry was
