# Adventure (Smith)

Let us leave the hateful town With its stale, forgotten lies; Far beneath renewing skies, Where the piny slope goes down, All with April love and laughter— None to leer and none to frown— We shall pass and follow after Shattered lace of waters spun On a steep and stony loom Down the depths of laurel-gloom. Finding there a world re-made In the fern-embowered shade, Weaving bright oblivion Still from frailest blossom-trove, We shall mix our wilding love With the woodland and the sun.
Let us loiter, hand in hand, Hearing but the heart's command, Half our steps by kisses stayed, Prove the spring-enchanted glade; Breast to breast and limb to limb, Seize our happiness and bind it— Lose the pulse of time and find it, Free as vagrant seraphim. Ever leave regret and rue To the dutiful and jealous Fools that are not near to tell us All the things we should not do.
Though the bedded ferns be broken, And dishevelled blossoms lie On the rumpled moss for token Of the day's mad errantry— Still the tacit pines will keep Darkly in their sighing sleep All the sweet and perilous story; And the oaks and willows hoary For unheeding ears will tell Only things ineffable; And the later eyes that look On the pool-delaying brook, Shall not see within its glass Two that came to kiss and pass.

# Adventurer

Written in 1926 and sent in a letter to his friend Tevis Clyde Smith. First published in The Last of the Trunk Och Brev I Urval, 2007.
Dusk on the sea; the fading twilight shifts' The night wind bears the ocean's whisper dim— Wind, on your bosom many a phantom drifts— A silver star climbs up the blue world rim. Wind, make the green leaves dance above me here And idly swing my silken hammock—so; Now, on that glimmering molten silver mere Send the long ripples wavering to and fro. And let your moon-white tresses touch my face And let me know your slim-armed, cool embrace While to my dreamy soul you whisper low.
Dream—aye, I've dreamed since last night left her tower And now again she comes on star-soled feet. Welcome, old friend; here in this rose-gemmed bower I've drowsed away your Sultan's golden heat. Here in my hammock, Time I've dreamed away For I have but to stretch a hand out, lo, I'm treading langurous shores of Yesterday, Moon-silvered deserts or the star-weird snow; I float o'er seas where ships are purple shells, I hear the tinkle of the camel bells That waft down Cairo's streets when dawn winds blow.
South Seas! I watch when dusky twilight comes Making vague gods of ancient, sea-set trees. The world path beckons—loud the mystic drums— Here at my hand the magic golden keys That fit the doors of Romance, Wonder, strange Dim gossamer adventures; seas and stars. Why, I have roamed the far Moon Mountain range When sunset minted gold in shimmering bars. All eager eyed I've sailed from ports of Spain And watched the flashing topaz of the Main When dawn was flinging witch fire on the spars.
I am content in dreams to roam my fill The vagrant, drifting sport of wind and tide, Slave of the greater freedom, venture's thrill; Here every magic ship on which I ride. Gold, green, blue, red, a priceless treasure trove, More wealth than ever pirate dared to dream. My hammock swings—about the world I rove. The sunset's dusk, the dawning's glide and gleam, Moon-dappled leaves are murmuring in the wind Which whispers tales. Lo, Tyre is just behind, Through seas of dawn I sail, Romance abeam.

​O’REILLY. (Lieutenant, 1828.)
John O’Reilly (b) entered the Navy 25 March 1812; and passed his examination in 1818, In the following year, while at Calais in the Pioneer ​schooner, Capt. Wm.

He obtained his commission 18 Sept. 1828; and since 16 March, 1831, has been in charge of a station in the Coast Guard. The important nature of his services in cases of shipwreck has had the effect of eliciting the acknowledgments of Lloyd’s, of the Royal Humane Society, and of various merchants and shipowners.

Matthew O’Hea is brother of Lieut. Dan. O’Hea, R.N. (1805), who died about the commencement of 1835; and nephew of the late Capt. Henry Power, R.N. This officer entered the Navy, 20 Oct. 1805, as L.M., on board the Sophie 18, Capts. Philip L. J. Rosenhagen and Wm. Mansell; in the boats of which sloop, and of the London 98, he distinguished himself at the cutting-out from Algeciras of two Spanish gun-vessels strongly defended. In March, 1807, at which period he had been serving for two months in the river Thames on board the Hindostan 50, he joined the Bedford 74; and in that ship, commanded by Capt. Jas. Walker, and for a short time by Capt. Adam Mackenzie, he continued employed for upwards of eight years. While stationed at first off Lisbon he assisted in destroying two forts at the entrance of the Tagus. He next escorted the Royal Family of Portugal in its flight to the Brazils; and when afterwards on the coast of North America he served with the boats of a squadron at the capture on Lake Borgne, 14 Dec. 1814, of five American gun-vessels under Commodore Jones, whose resistance was prolonged until the British had sustained a loss of 17 men killed and 77 wounded. He also took an active part in the operations against New Orleans, where he saw much arduous boat-service, and was severely wounded in the thigh and hand. The injuries he sustained not being, from some unaccountable reason, reported, he never received any compensation. In Feb. 1815 we find him present in the attack on Fort Bowyer, Mobile. He took up in the following June a commission bearing date 4 Feb. 1815; and has since been on half-pay.

This officer entered the Navy, 2 Oct. 1808, as Fst.-cl. Vol., on board the Warspite 74, Capt. Hon. Henry Blackwood, successively employed in the North Sea, at the blockade of Cherbourg, and in the Mediterranean. Removing as Midshipman, in Sept, 1810, to the Colossus 74, Capt, Thos, Alexander, he was for some time engaged in that ship at the defence of Cadiz, where he constantly volunteered his services, and was on several occasions in action with the enemy’s gun-boats, under a heavy fire from the batteries on shore. In April, 1811, he joined the Saldana 36, Capt. Hon. Wm. Pakenham, from which ship he was fortunately detached in charge of a captured privateer, the Amiral Martin a few days only before she was entirely lost, with all her crew, off Lough Swilly. In March, 1812, Mr. O’Reilly was received on board the Hazard sloop, Capt. John Cookesley, off Newfoundland; and in Jan. 1814, after having acted for upwards of 12 months as Master of that vessel, he was transferred to the Asia 74, flag-ship of Hon. Sir Alex. Cochrane; whom, in the following July, after a servitude of two months with Capt. Rich. Byron as Acting-Lieutenant in the Belvidera 36, he rejoined on board the Tonnant 80. In the course of the same summer he was present in the boats at the destruction of Commodore Barney’s flotilla up the Patuxent, and on shore at the battle of Bladensburg, the taking of Washington, and the attack upon Baltimore; and on 14 of the following Dec. we find him commanding one of the boats of a squadron at the capture, on Lake Borgne, of five American gunboats under Commodore Jones, whose desperate resistance occasioned the British a loss of 17 men killed and 77 wounded. Among the latter was Mr. O’Reilly, who had the misfortune to sustain the loss of his right eye, for which he now receives a pension of 91l. 5s. His promotion to the rank of Lieutenant took place 2 Nov. 1815. His appointments have since been – 26 Aug. 1834, to the Coast Guard – 4 Nov. 1835, to the command, which he retained for six years, of the Spider brigantine of 6 guns, on the South American station – and, 29 Aug. 1843, again to the Coast Guard, in which service he continues. It has been Mr. O’Reilly’s good fortune to rescue many persons from shipwreck.
The Lieutenant is the inventor of an illuminated shell, which supplies the desideratum required in Capt. Manby’s apparatus. He married, 22 Oct, 1821, Anna, third daughter of Geo. Snart, Esq,, of Sutton House, co, Middlesex, by whom he has issue an only daughter, married to Commander Albert Heseltine, R.N. Agents – Messrs, Stilwell.
