McGonagall, William.

In two columns with a coat of arms above the title.
In verse.
Printed on the sheet are copies of three letters, two of which acknowledge receipt of poems by McGonagall, the other is a testimonial by the Rev. George Gilfillan.
At the top of the sheet in McGonagall's hand - 'Sir Wm. Topaz McGonagall. Poet'.
The 'Storm Queen' was lost on the 22nd Dec., 1888 in the Bay of Biscay. The captain and five crew members were drowned.
First lines read: Ye landsmen, all pray list to me, / While I relate a terrible tale of the sea, / Concerning the screw steamer Storm Queen, / Which was wrecked, alas! a most heast-rending scene.
