Yes, we’re struck by the Bywell Castle.
She has cut us in two with her prow,
And our boat, The Princess, in five minutes, or less,
Will suck three hundred creatures below!
“Let the women get into the boats there,
Stand back-let the critters get in!”
But some great hulking tramps crowd the boat, and she swamps,
And loud o’er the engines dim,
From the waves of the murky Thames, sir,
Come the wails of the souls in the stream.
