"Outside Sandy Neck, to try fisherman's luck
For bluefish, or mackerel or clams."
"Good luck and good-bye," said his fond loving wife,
"The weather looks pleasant and fair,
You'll be back at the landing on the full of the tide,
And the children and I'll wait you there."
But when rounding Beach Point, with his good catch of fish,
The captain was caught in a squall,
Black clouds, wind and thunder, lightning and hail,
While the rain in torrents did fall.
