Binns sent 1t flashing out over the sea
To whereer a ship or port might be-
&C @ d! c Q Dr.
On went the message of peril and fear
Winging its way to whoever might hear
The call borne out on the ether's thin
breath,
A cry of disaster and imminent death.
And. instant. wherever a ship could be
found
Homeward or outward or anywhere
bound,
That caught the alarm. it turned in Its
course
And rushed through the dark with all Of
the force
OF steam driven speed to rescue and save,
Needless itself of possible grave
For 1t and its crew in the fog covered
wave.
And. again. as SO oft. out of peril were
born
Names that SHAH live till earth's final
morn.
Names of true heroes as great as OF old.
The records of daring and honor have
told
Ruspini and Sealby and Ransom and he
Who, fearless. persistent. sent over tho
sea
That call Of distress: &C Q d! C Q Dr.
