Herk! the boatswain hoarsely bawling, By topsail sheets and haulyards stand; Down topgallants quick be hauling, Down your staysails, hand boys, hand! Now it freshens, set the braces, Now the topsail sheets let go; Luff, boys, luff, do not make wry faces, Up your topsails nimbly clew. Now all you at home in safety, Sheltered from the howling storm; Testing joys by heaven vouchsafed ye, Of our state vain notions form; Round us roars the tempest louder, Think what fear our minds entreat; Harder yet if yet blows harder, Now again the boatswain calla : J' The topsa,il yards :point to the wind boys, See all clear to reef each course; Let the foreahett go--do not mind, boys, Though the weather should be worse; Fore and aft the spritsail -- yard yet, Rffe the mizan- sea all clean; Hands up, each preventer--brace set, Men the foreyard- -cheer lads cheer. Now the dreEilful thunder's roaring, Peal on :peal contending clash; On our head fierce rain falls pouri.p.g, In our eyes blue lightening flash; One wide water all around us, All above us one black sky; Different deaths at once -- suround us, Hark! what means that dretlf'ul cry. The foremast's gone! cries every tongue out, Over the lee, twelve feet above deck; A leak beneath the chest-tree's sprung out, Call allhands to clear the wreck. Quick the lanyards cut to pieces, Come, hearts, be stout and bold! Plumb the well the leak increases, Four feet water in the hold! While over the ship wild waves are beating, We for wives or children mourn; Alas! from thence there is no retreating, Still the leak, is gaining on us, Both chain-pumps are choked below; Heaven have mercy here upon us! For only that can save us now. Over the lee-beam is the land, boys, Let the guns overboard be thrown, To the pump come every hand boys, See our mizenmast is gone. The leak we have .found, it cannot pour fast, We have lightened her afoot or more; Up and rig a Jury- -foremast, The rights! she rights! boys --wear off shore. Now, once more, :peace round us beaming, Since kind heaven has saved our lives; From our eyes joy' a tears are streaming, For our children and our wives; Grateful ~ hearts now beat in wonder, To him who thus prolongs our days; Hushed to rest the mighty thunder, Every voice bursts forth in praise. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Go~ Go Go, father, and build me a little boat, That I may down the river float; And every ship that I pass by, I'll listen for Sweet Willie's cry. I wish I was a little bird, A darling darling little bird, And to Sweet Willie I would fly And there I would lay me down to die.
