ON BOARD THE Two PoLLrEsl
Rockaray, L. 4. Nov. IL, 1887
To tie Editors of the Neu York Daily Erpress:
GESrLEMEx:-I thank you for sendin me the
papers reguarly,-but haint had time to write
to you now for some time.
l believe my last letter tell'd you about the
condition Of Uncle Sam and his buttons, but am
not sartin.
! have now the satisfaction to tell you,-and
voa may tell it to all creation,-that the 'Iro
Pollies'' Is afodt, and this is nigh upon the way
it come about. Some weeks ago got letter
from Uncle Joshua, tellin me to keep sharp look
out on the tides along about the beginnin Of No
vember,-that they had had plagy high one
down there in Miine-and shortly before that
there a considerable rise in Rhode Island, and
it would sartinly be the same all along shore
and accordin to his kaikaation, there would be a
real rouee- con0 by York State somewhere from
the first to the mi Idle Of this nnnth,-and that if
ever expected to git the ''Two PoilIcs or, nus
the time 10 keep 4 sharp lookout, for Con-
gress had done no,hln help at the last session.
and might not at the next. And sure enuf, on
the 9Th, Jest at sunrise, it began to rise, and eve
ry folIowin tide kept goin leete beyond the last
one; and by SHUTDOWN of tho Sth-''s'T The glorious
Stt Of Norember'--thc Two Polles begun to lift
out Of the sand and roland to rights up she
come even keel and swung off to her ank-
er, which had been out into deep water.
The next mornn the folks begun to gather l.
long sh ore, and every Twin crittur who could git
off, all come on board-and such time We had
there for spell, kalkalate haint been seen for
many day on board vessel, sound in
her hull, but wantin spars, sails and riggin. My
old friend Zeket BigeIou, was among the visiters,
and nothin would do but he must deliver an adj
dress to the folks-and he is you know,
plete hand at that-and up he got on the wind
lass, and did pore it out there for about half an
hour, most awful. He stood like a teapot, one
Il kimbo and tother spouting and such
stream!! there was no gittin by it. He thanked
every body and ererytane, that had any hand In
gittin the Two Pollies off shore-he said the same
causes would lift more folks out Of the mud than
we had any notion on--for that the Two Pollies
was not the only object that had been run on
shore by the wickedness, and the ignorance and
| seifishness Of some folks, and when he come to
speak to them folks, and tell how and ,rhy all this
trouble had been brought on the country entirely
by their Uic!edness, their ignorance, and their
IL
tied the hull scrape ont right over en-. never
in my born days hcarn the like.
! AFTER this address over, we all gave three
times three good hearty cheers, and the Two Poi
lies. she rolled from side to side, like good ma
tured Laughter, first one scupper in and then 10th
er, just though she taken part in the fun
and which she tad right to do.
The Two Poliies, l said afore, is sound in
her hull, and all her ground tackle is good as
ever; but she wants refittin, and as yet, l am a
! leete puzzled to know which port to carry her to
for an outfit Some think she ought to be rugged
on a ner plan, and that a convention OF rIggers
is to meet in New York on the 9th Of this month,
to fix upon plan for riggin vessels generally.
This being the case, don't know but it is best t.
take the Two Poliies New York and let then,
all take look at her, and then decide. | must
say haint got much confidence IN any ''ner rig. ,
especially if it has any thing like an "erPcrment
about it--all know about 1t is, the Two Pollles
was clipper In her day, and with the rig she had
and unless l am sarting that a change will be
best, wont give my consent. As the Two Pol
lies never abandoned to the underwriters by
the owners, who all of the 'dont gire up the
ship order-;here won't be any trouble on thai
scoTe-but more of this in my next.
Well, now about the elections. What in natul
has got into folks! What has become of 'stht
