“Man’s overboard,” was called aloud;
And a cheer went up from the tourist crowd
As they saw in the water in a little while
The face of a bear with a pleasant smile.
The boat was stopped and a rope thrown out,
And in answer to the captain’s shout
TEDDY-G called back, “The water’s fine;
I’ve got the bait; pull in your line.”
