when He's Rich He'll Have y DOG Boat OF Hts
Own and Turn the Handle.

81 had a lofcly time yesterday sailin' init n
dog boat on Canarsie Bay" said the Sinker Man
when Sarsaparilla Reilly entered the little res
taurant on Park row. Really, Reilly. it's yet
more nice as ridin' on Conveys Island shoot der
shutter, cause you don't get no nervousness at
tall. II l would be a rich man / would a sailor
boat buy nit der money as fore l buy something
else. You don't need TO push il at tall. und you
don't got TO do something What makes you
tired when you sail. You shust let out der
boom nit der rope What is tied to der
tail oof der boat und der Wind blows der sail
against der water und you spin right along nit
out s%toppin'. Only IL you want to go round on a
carpet tack so dat you'll get TO vindvard. den
you must turn der handle. When you wish to
turn der boat in der way What you amt goin'
den you pull der handle yet n little more to der
starboard. which is not on der side What you
are sittin' II der left is right while you're facing
der front OF der ship
"What are yer talkin' about T. asked Reilly:
''ye'vc been shootin' of there about dog boats and
handle bars and wheels. Were yer bicycling r.

What l know about dol sailor business. We mad
a man along, hut he shust talked orders und |
did der sailin'."
