Till the Bloke was heard to shout,

"Stick it, Sir! We'll get you out!"

Everybody had a go—

Chief, Commander, P.M.O.,

Padre, Carpenter and Stoker,

Using engine-grease and poker,

Hawser, marlin-spike and soap,

Till at length they gave up hope,

For, in spite of all they did,

Edwin fitted like a lid.
