RHYMES OF GALVESTON BAY
By John P. Sjolander
Years ago, when I used to run vessels on Galveston Bay and along the coast, I gathered up some stories told by old boatmen [[144]]on nights when we lay wind-bound. Later I put them into rhyme and I may have tried to ornament them with some phrases of my own. Some of the “Rhymes” were published in the Galveston News, 1910, and later came out in the Texas Magazine (Houston).
