You might a'most heard a marlinspike drop

As Bo'sen James he looked out.

Then down through the scupper his head it went,

And there came a tremenjous shout,

"Sea-Sarpint be blowed, ye darned landlubbers!

Who's left this here mop hangin' out?"


A Word to the Y.'s at Henley.—Try again; you will be Yale-fellow, well met!
