MASCOT WORTH WHILE
CRETAN PUPPY TAKEN TO AFRICA. TIMELY WARNING THAT SAVED LONDONERS. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.25 a.m.) LONDON, June 2. Carried ashore in a soldier’s boot, while the soldier walked barefooted, a Cretan puppy, which saved the lives of a party of London lorry-drivers, was landed at an African port with one of the last detachments from Crete. The exhausted party was sleeping in the hills when a detachment of Gormans surrounded them. Only the puppy heard the Germans and yapped a warning, so that machine-gunners had time to disperse the Germans, killing many and taking some prisoners.
