John Alexander entered the Navy, 5 May, 1800, as Ordinary, on board the Fairy 18, Capts. Fred. Warren and Rich. Bailing Dunn. If we except a brief attachment in 1804, and again in 1806, to the Æolus 32, Capt. Lord Wm. Fitzroy, and Hercule and Veteran, Capts. Barrington Dacres and Andrew Fitzherbert Evans, he afterwards, from Nov. 1801, until the early part of 1807, served uninterruptedly with Capt. Dunn, and nearly the whole time also with Admiral Sir John Thos. Duckworth, in the Southampton, Leviathan, Hercule, Acasta, and Royal George, on the West India and Mediterranean stations. While in the latter ship, he took part in a desperate skirmish with a body of Turks on the island of Prota, 27 Feb. 1807, and was severely wounded at the re-passage of the Dardanells. Being promoted to a Lieutenancy (by commission dated 28 Feb. 1807) in the Standard 64, Capt. Thos. Harvey, he subsequently, on 26 June, 1808, succeeded, with the yawl belonging to that ship under his orders, in capturing a French despatch-boat, Le Léger although exposed to a sharp fire of musketry from the island of Corfu. In the course of 1809-10 we next find Mr. Alexander successively joining the Glommen 18, Capt. Chas. Pickford, Moselle, Capt. Henry Boys, Hebe 38, Capt.

​ALEXANDER. (Commander, 1815. f-p., 16; h-p., 32.)
Nicholas Alexander has lost three brothers high in the Naval and Military service of their country – one of whom, the late gallant Capt. Thos. Alexander, C.B., died Senior Officer in command of the Naval Squadron before Rangoon, in Nov. 1825.
This officer entered the Navy, early in 1799, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Haerlem 64, Capt. Geo. Burlton, and after an attachment to the Serpent, Capt. Thos. Roberts, joined the Désirée 36, Capt. Henry Inman, one of Lord Nelson’s frigates in the action off Copenhagen, 2 April, 1801. In the course of 1802 he successively removed, as Midshipman, to the Nereide 36, Capt. Robt. Mends, and Port Mahon 18, Capts. Walter Grossett and Martin Neville. After witnessing the reduction, in 1803, of Ste. Lucie and Tobago, Mr. Alexander further served for two years with Capt. Edw. Hawker in the Mignonne, and with Rear-Admiral Jas. Rich. Dacres in, successively, the Theseus 74, and, as Sub-Lieutenant and Lieutenant (commissions dated 26 Feb. and 16 May, 1806), in the Shark sloop, and Hercule 74. His subsequent appointments were, – in 1808-9, to the Trent, Venerable, and St. Domingo, flag-ships of Admirals Jas. Hawkins Whitshed, Sir Rich. John Strachan, and Sir John Borlase Warren – and, on 22 Dec. 1812, to the Dragon 74, Capts. Fras. Augustus Collier and Robt. Barrie. While in the St. Domingo, under Sir R. Strachan, with whom he served for three years, Mr. Alexander joined in the attack upon Flushing in Aug. 1809 – frequently took part in gun-boat engagements – and was twice wounded. In April and May, 1813, during the period of his attachment to the Dragon, he was the Senior Lieutenant employed in the operations against the American towns, flotillas, and military stations in the Chesapeake; and for his conduct on all occasions, but particularly in the attack upon French Town, was honoured with the public thanks of Rear-Admiral Cockburn. In the summer of 1814 he commanded a division of boats under Capt. Barrie in the several attacks on Commodore Barney’s flotilla in the Patuxent – repelled, when on shore at Parker’s Point, with only 38 marines and a few seamen, an assault made by 120 of the United States regular cavalry, supported by 500 infantry with field-pieces – had charge of a division of boats at the capture of Forts St. Peter and St. Mary – and was eventually employed at Cumberland Island. Mr. Alexander, whose services during the whole of this period drew forth the warm approbation of Capt. Barrie, attained the rank of Commander 13 June, 1815. He was afterwards employed in raising men at Cork, from Sept. 1815 to Feb. 1816; but since the latter date has been on half-pay.
He married, in 1815, Susannah, daughter of Wm. Legrand, Esq., of Cork, and has two sons, Robert Barrie and William Thomas, both Assistant-Surgeons in the Navy. Agents – Coplands and Burnett.

THE DEEP-SEA CABLES
XIV
THE WRECKS DISSOLVE ABOVE US
The wrecks dissolve above us; their dust drops down from afar— Down to the dark, to the utter dark, where the blind white sea-snakes are.
XV
IN THE WOMB OF THE WORLD
Here, in the womb of the world—here on the tie-ribs of earth Words, and the words of men, flicker and flutter and beat— Warning, sorrow and gain, salutation and mirth— For a Power troubles the Still that has neither voice nor feet.
THE WRECKS DISSOLVE ABOVE US
IN THE WOMB OF THE WORLD
THE DEEP-SEA CABLES
The wrecks dissolve above us; their dust drops down from afar— Down to the dark, to the utter dark, where the blind white sea-snakes are. There is no sound, no echo of sound, in the deserts of the deep, Or the great grey level plains of ooze where the shell-burred cables creep.
Here in the womb of the world—here on the tie-ribs of earth Words, and the words of men, flicker and flutter and beat—
Warning, sorrow and gain, salutation and mirth— For a Power troubles the Still that has neither voice nor feet.
They have wakened the timeless Things; they have killed their father Time; Joining hands in the gloom, a league from the last of the sun. Hush! Men talk to-day o'er the waste of the ultimate slime, And a new Word runs between: whispering, 'Let us be one!'
XVI
WE THAT WERE BRED OVERSEAS
Those that have stayed at thy knees, Mother, go call them in— We that were bred overseas wait and would speak with our kin. Not in the dark do we fight-haggle and flout and gibe; Selling our love for a price, loaning our hearts for a bribe.
WE THAT WERE BRED OVERSEAS
# A Song of the Republic

A Song of the Republic was Lawson's first poem, accepted by J. F. Archibald and published in The Bulletin in 1887.
Sons of the South, awake! arise! Sons of the South, and do. Banish from under your bonny skies Those old-world errors and wrongs and lies. Making a hell in a Paradise That belongs to your sons and you.
Sons of the South, make choice between (Sons of the South, choose true), The Land of Morn and the Land of E'en, The Old Dead Tree and the Young Tree Green, The Land that belongs to the lord and the Queen, And the Land that belongs to you.
Sons of the South, your time will come – Sons of the South, 'tis near – The "Signs of the Times", in their language dumb, Fortell it, and ominous whispers hum Like sullen sounds of a distant drum, In the ominous atmosphere.
Sons of the South, aroused at last! Sons of the South are few! But your ranks grow longer and deeper fast, And ye shall swell to an army vast, And free from the wrongs of the North and Past The land that belongs to you.

A SONG OF THE RED AND THE BLUE.
DEDICATED TO PROVOST CHARLES CUSTIS HARRISON, '62.
Words and music by Florence Earle Coates.
Mother of men, who long ago Thy leadership had won— Mother, whom best thy children know When their days with thee are done;
Eager a part of our debt to pay With thine honored sons of yore, We follow the Red and the Blue today, And love thee forever more.
Blue is the heav'nly hue that shows When a cloud above us parts; Red is the tint of the tide that flows, The life-blood of our hearts,
Who, eager a part of our debt to pay With thine honored sons of yore, Still follow the Red and the Blue today, And love thee forever more.
Pennsylvania! glorious name! Thy brows with laurel bound Never shall know the touch of shame, Nor be through us discrowned,
Who, eager a part of our debt to pay With thine honored sons of yore, Still follow the Red and the Blue today, And love thee forever more.
Blue for the true, we thy children who By thy hand are upward led. Loyal to thee, our faith renew Till the ruby of life is fled—
And eager a part of our debt to pay With thine honored sons of yore, We follow the Red and the Blue today, And love thee forever more.

BOMBAY
Royal and Dower-royal, I the Queen Fronting thy richest sea with richer hands— A thousand mills roar through me where I glean All races from all lands.
CALCUTTA
Me the Sea-captain loved, the River built, Wealth sought and Kings adventured life to hold. Hail, England! I am Asia—Power on silt, Death in my hands, but Gold!
MADRAS
Clive kissed me on the mouth and eyes and brow, Wonderful kisses, so that I became Crowned above Queens—a withered beldame now, Brooding on ancient fame.
RANGOON
Hail, Mother! Do they call me rich in trade? Little care I, but hear the shorn priest drone, And watch my silk-clad lovers, man by maid, Laugh 'neath my Shwe Dagon.
SINGAPORE
Hail, Mother! East and West must seek my aid Ere the spent gear may dare the ports afar. The second doorway of the wide world's trade Is mine to loose or bar.
HONG-KONG
Hail, Mother! Hold me fast; my Praya sleeps Under innumerable keels to-day. Yet guard (and landward), or to-morrow sweeps Thy warships down the bay!
HALIFAX
Into the mist my guardian prows put forth, Behind the mist my virgin ramparts lie, The Warden of the Honour of the North, Sleepless and veiled am I!
QUEBEC AND MONTREAL
Peace is our portion. Yet a whisper rose, Foolish and causeless, half in jest, half hate. Now wake we and remember mighty blows, And, fearing no man, wait!
VICTORIA
From East to West the circling word has passed, Till West is East beside our land-locked blue; From East to West the tested chain holds fast, The well-forged link rings true!
CAPETOWN
Hail! Snatched and bartered oft from hand to hand, I dream my dream, by rock and heath and pine, Of Empire to the northward. Ay, one land From Lion's Head to Line!
MELBOURNE
Greeting! Nor fear nor favour won us place, Got between greed of gold and dread of drouth, Loud-voiced and reckless as the wild tide-race That whips our harbour-mouth!
SYDNEY
Greeting! My birth-stain have I turned to good Forcing strong wills perverse to steadfastness; The first flush of the tropics in my blood, And at my feet Success!
BRISBANE
The northern stirp beneath the southern skies— I build a Nation for an Empire's need, Suffer a little, and my land shall rise, Queen over lands indeed!
HOBART
Man's love first found me; man's hate made me Hell; For my babes' sake I cleansed those infamies, Earnest for leave to live and labour well, God flung me peace and ease.
AUCKLAND
Last, loneliest, loveliest, exquisite, apart— On us, on us the unswerving season smiles, Who wonder 'mid our fern why men depart To seek the Happy Isles!

THE COASTWISE LIGHTS OF ENGLAND
Come up, come in from Eastward, from the guardports of the Morn! Beat up, beat in from Southerly, O gipsies of the Horn! Swift shuttles of an Empire's loom that weave us, main to main, The Coastwise Lights of England give you welcome back again!
THE SWINGING
ON THE LINELESS
THE COASTWISE LIGHTS
THE COASTWISE LIGHTS
Our brows are bound with spindrift and the weed is on our knees; Our loins are battered 'neath us by the swinging, smoking seas. From reef and rock and skerry—over headland, ness, and voe— The Coastwise Lights of England watch the ships of England go!
Through the endless summer evenings, on the lineless, level floors; Through the yelling Channel tempest when the siren hoots and roars— By day the dipping house-flag and by night the rocket's trail As the sheep that graze behind us so we know them where they hail.
We bridge across the dark and bid the helmsman have a care, The flash that wheeling inland wakes his sleeping wife to prayer; From our vexed eyries, head to gale, we bind in burning chains The lover from the sea-rim drawn—his love in English lanes.
We greet the clippers wing-and-wing that race the Southern wool; We warn the crawling cargo-tanks of Bremen, Leith, and Hull; To each and all our equal lamp at peril of the sea— The white wall-sided warships or the whalers of Dundee!
Come up, come in from Eastward, from the guard-ports of the Morn! Beat up, beat in from Southerly, gipsies of the Horn! Swift shuttles of an Empire's loom that weave us, main to main, The Coastwise Lights of England give you welcome back again!
Go, get you gone up-Channel with the sea-crust on your plates; Go, get you into London with the burden of your freights! Haste, for they talk of Empire there, and say, if any seek, The Lights o' England sent you and by silence shall ye speak!
