Inside the breakers buoy the child began to cry tears from apprehension and the cold. Captain Sawyer lashed his wife and self on to the mast to wait for rescue by the morning light. But, with the dawn the beach patrol returned and were aghast to find they both had perished as their ship sank in the night.

Tradition says the melody is clear, tho' faint the word.
