In the cabin Lieutenant Stromberg was still playing solitaire; at the opposite side of the table his sister sat, with Drew beside her, reading aloud, as she took a lesson in English.
"Da sea grows sto'-mee, da lit' ones mo-own,
But, ah-h, she gafe me nef-fair a lo-o-ok,
Faw her eyes weh seal'd tow da holy bo-o-ok!
Loud prays da pries'; shot stahnds da do'.
Coam avay, chillen, call no mo'!
Coam avay, coam da-own, call no mo'!"
