was laid up for repairs and one of the
rickety old-timers of the line was sail

was somewhat irritated by the fact
remarked to another, an Irishman, by

gets in at two in the morning and this
old tub never gets in before six"
The Irishman thought for moment
and replied: ITS all right. The dis
tance is just the same and we get
longer sail for the money"
