Mohave County miner., 1882-12-03
A White Squ1Ilin the IEetliterran-
 can.

On deck, beneath the awning,
 dosing lay and yawning;
 It was the gray of dawning,
 Ere yet the sun arose;
 And above the tunnels roaring,
 And the itful winds deploripg,
 1 heard the cabin snoring
 With universal nose.
 l could hear the passengers snorting- envied their disportinG-
 Nainly 1 was cOurting
 The pleasure of a dOZs.
 So lay, and wondered why light
 Came not, and watched the twilight, And the Glimmer of the sllylight
 That shot across the deck;
 And the Binn2cle, pale and steady, And the dull glimpse of the dead-eye, And the sparks in fiery eddy
 That Whirled from the chimpey-neck. Strange company we haIbored;
 We'd hundred Jews to larboard,
 Unwashed, unconlbed, unbarbered-
 Jews black, and brown, and gray. With terror 1t would seize ye,
 And make your souls uneasy,
 To see those Rabbis greasy,
 Who did naught but scratch and pray. Their dirty children pUlling-
 Their dirty saUcepans cooking
 Their dirty fingers hooking
 
 To starboard Turks and Greeks were Whiskered and brown their cheeks were. Enormous brown their breeks were,
 Their pipes did puff away; Each Cn bis mat all Otted
 In silence smoked and squattod, Whilst round their children trotted
 In pretty, pleasant play.
 He can't but smile who traces The smiles on their brown faces. And the pretty, prattling graceS
 Of those GmalI heathens gay. And so the hours kept tolling; And through the ocean rolling Went the brave Iberia bowling,
 Before the break of day. When a squall, upon 8 sudden, Game OCT the waters SoudGinG; And the clouds began to gather, And the sea was laShed to lathor, And the lowering thunder grumbled, And the lightning jumped and tumbled, And the ship and all the ocean, Woke up in wild coEimotion. Then the wind set up a bowling, And the pOodle-dog bowling, And the cocks began growing, And the old COW raised lowing As she heard the tempest blowing; And fowls and geese did cackle, And the cordage and the tackle Began to shriak and cracllle: And the rushing water soaks all, From the seaman il th9 fo'ksai To the s5CEe-;, whose black faces pees cut C the;r bed places; Aud the c;sstaikll.s EG..s blE!lpG, And the sailors pulling, hauling, And the quarterback tarpauIing Vas shiveriugin tho 5quailinE, Aud the passengers awaken, Most pittifuAy shaken: And the steward jumps up, and hastens For the necessary basins. Lquivered Then the Greeks they grOaned and And they knelt and moaned land shivereG, As the piunging waters met them, And s3lashed aud oyerset them; And they called ln their eIG3r&3nce Upon countless saints and virgins; And their marroWboneS are pended, And they think the world is ended And the Turkish women tor'ard Were frightened and beL0rrOred; And, shFiekiug aGC bewilderinS, The mothers clute&6d their children The men sang: "Akah! Illah. Mashallah Bismillah!' As the warning waters abused them, And splashed them, and sOused them; And they called upon the Prophet. Who thought but little of it. Then all the feas in Jewry Jumped up and bit ike fury; And the progeny of Jacob ilid o2a tho main decE wake U0, ti TTo5 those greasy Bslahi1i5 Would never pay for cabins;) And each man lnoane1 and iabbored ill His filthy Jewish gaberdine, In woe and lamsntatioD. And bowling consternaliOn. And the splaShing water trenches Their dirty brsts and wenehes; And they craW! from bales and benches { h hundred thousand stenches. Then PrGssiaa captain of LanceTs Those tight-lsoad, whiskered pranoers) f Came on the deck astonished, By that wild Squall admonished, t And wondering, cried: "Potz tapsend, Vie lst der sturm jetzt brausenG:" And locked at Captain Cewis, I Who calmly stood and blew his Cigar Iii all the hustla, ( And seoEned the tampest's tussle.
