In spite of the land-lubbers scoffing.
Hooray!—Humph! By Jove that's a suddenish squall,
Sing hey, sing ho, and a spinnaker boom!
The Skipper, he doesn't look steady at all,
Ho! there's something amiss with the compass!
Whilst Smith, the first Luff, looks a little less smart,
And Goschen—by Jove, can he be losing heart?
He swears there's some blessed mistake in the Chart,
Is his not the cool imperturbable part?
Then why should he kick up a rumpus?
