He pines for the sight of an American, and especially so for one of the fair sex. The day the minister and his wife land, they try to help the poor savages to a better way of living and are spied by the ever alert consul; the minister's daughter especially being noticed. He meets them and offers the hospitality of his house. The girl is also accompanied by her small dog. The consul is entertaining his visitors, when the girl's dog breaks away. As soon as the dog is missed, there is consternation, for the "dog-eating" habits of the Igorottes are well known and the consul leads the search. They go to the butcher's, where there is quite a collection of dogs, and make a thorough search but all in vain. He tells them that he has not seen anything of the dog. The girl is in tears, and in her excited state, tells the consul that she will marry whoever finds her dog for her. This is an added spur to him, for, with the girl's heart and millions in his hands, he need never work again. The search spreads, the consul adding to his party all that he can get his hands on, but as they are natives and a dog would be an acceptable dish to any of them, he has to watch them as well as look for the dog. They have some merry chases after first one dog and then another, and it appears that the dog has been put in the "soup" pot, when the consul finally spies him. There is a happy reconciliation and the minister's daughter, to show that she appreciates the consul's efforts in her behalf, agrees to take him as her life partner.
