with great glee hi New York, by some British-
? American Captains of vessels. After dinner,

the company should compose and sing a verse of

This roposal %vas joyfully accepted, and each
American sang a stave in honour' of his country.
This being done, a British Captain was now called
upon for his quota of poetry, but not helng skit-
