was the spirit of the verses, magnanlmousiy sur
rendered the whole TO the board OF admiralty, as
Justly and legally appcrtaining TO that body. The
board, having sat upon the bottle, (and broken IT'D

The Battle Of the Watches.
Oh, weep, ye British sailors true,
Above under matches,
Here's Yank ee Doodle's been and come,
And beat our crackest watches
They started NIL to run race,
And wree well-Umed with watches;
But oh they never had no chance,
Had any of our watches.
The Yankee she delayed at first;
Says they, "She'll never catch u.s.
And flung up their tarpaulin hats
The owners Of the watches
But presently she walked along;
go dear" says they, "she'll match US -
And stuck on their tarpaulin hats,
The owners OF the watches
Then deep we ploughs along the sea,
The Yankee scarcely scratches,
And cracks on every stitch of sail
Upon our staggering watches.
But one by one she passes US,
While bitterly we watches,
And utters imprecations on
The builders OF our watches.
And now she's quite hull down ahead,
Her sails like little patches;
For sand -barges and golfers we
May sell our boasted Watches
We family hears the Clubhouse gun
The silver cup she snatches-
And all the English Clubs are done,
The English Clubs of watches
They say she didn't go by wind,
But wheels, and springs, and ratches;
And that's the way she weathered on
Our quickest going watches.
But them's all lies Pm bound to say,
Although they're told by patches
Twas build of hull, and cut of sail,
That did for all our watches.
But novelty hear them say,
Some novelty still hatchesi
The Yankee yatch the keels will lay
OF many new Club watches.
And then we'll challenge Yankee land,
From Boston bay to Natchez,
To run their crackest craft agin
Our spick and span new watches.
