- "WRECK OF '1'11E HESPERUS"
r
It. was. the rum -runner Hesperus,
That sailed the wintry sea;
And the skipper had taken his little
daughter
To bear him company,
Fair was her hair, (a`` peroxide.
blonde)
Her eyes a delhinittm blue,
Twin cherries her lip stick had deftly
made
And her cheeks were the latest hue.
The skipper he stood beside the
helm
A cigarette in his mouth;-
And he watched how the veering
wind did blow
The smoke now West now South;
Their up spate an old smuggler,
Had sailed to Bermuda. before;
"Say, boss, it- looks to rise` like a
storm,
You better put for the; shore,"
"Last night I'could see: two moons,
To -night, I.can see three."
The ki
s peer inhaled a lungful. of
smoke
And a scornful laugh. laughed' he.
"Hustle now, girlie; come over here;
And don't you take on so;
For I can weather the roughest gale
That ever wind did blow."
He wrapped her warm in her seal-
skin coat,
To shield her from 'the blast;
He cut a rope from a broken spar
And lashed the cargo' fast..
"Oh, father! I hear the sound of guns
Oh say, what may it he?"
"Some rum -runner -fighting off' pir-
ates, girl,'.
And he swore right lustily.
"Oh father! I see a gleaming light, w
Oh, ,say, hat'inay it be"
"Tis a revenue.cutter after us, kid,"
And he steered -for the open sea.
Oh father! I hear the church 'bells'
ring,
Oh say, what may it be?"
But the father answered never a word
For stewed to the eyes was he.
And fast through the midnight:dark
and drear,
Through the whistling sleet and snow
Like a sheeted ghost the vessel swept
Towards thee reef of Rum -runner's
Woe.
At daybreak on the bleak sea-beac'h'.
A fisherman stood aghast;
To see cases of whiskey and cham-
pagne and gin
Adrift with a floating mast.
She struck where the white and fleecy
waves '
Looked soft as. the froth on beer;
And the cruel words that the skipper
used
'Were something awful to hear.
He waded in and pulled then: out;
A joyful bird was he,
Please send us all same luck like this,
A. hands of an angry sea.

Yet days go by and weeks rush on,

And I never see my old friend's face,

He knows I like him' just as well as

fore these classic rhymes had famed

me, I earned a local reputation by
loud and fervent declamation. About
Ben Adhem, may his tribe increase,

One step wont take you very far,
You've got to keep on walking,
One word won't tell folks who you are
You've got to keep on talking,
One inch won't make you very tall,
You've got to keep on growing,
One little ad won't do it all,
You've got to keep them going.
