And Seeley was the Captain’s name.
The Scientist they numbered seven
Their subjects ranged from H——l to Heaven
One on volcano’s one on stars
Botany, bugs, short cuts to Mars.
Like knights of old were they prepared to shoot
The mighty whale, ferocious malamoot.
Good fellows all. I hope they’ll lenient be
To him who writes this verse upon the sea
Prof. Jaggar, man of earthquake lore.
