Col Deems transfers from Fort Howard to Fort Hancock with his fox terrier Riley. Riley, famed for chasing soldiers and fleas on the Baltimore district, remains a beloved, if mischievous, fixture. Fort Hancock hosts the new command though Riley’s adventures continue to amuse the garrison.

He and his family survived the Galveston tidal wave by seeking refuge on a gun platform as waters inundated the city.
