It Is stirring TO read
or the strong and the brave,
OF the captain who stayed
TIL she sunk meath the wave.
1t is splendid to hear
OF the disciplined crew,
Each one calm at his post,
Every man tried and true.
II is thrilling to read
or the man who stood fast,
Sending summons through air
From HIS magical mast
High our hearts beat with pride
For the rescuing host
Stoaming quick to her aid
From the sea and the coast.
And this is the truth
Tint is borne in on me;
We don't find any hogs
In the trough of the sea.
