AS quick as breath, as sure as death,

And ragged sea weeds grow

That curtains all the sea;
A Shiny eel all made of steel,
A thing of mystery
For none may see and none may hear
Nor learn my deadly hate
Until they know the crashing blow
That shivers every plate.
AS through her sides my missile goes
To wound her sore and deep
And from her deck. twisted wreck.

Down where the Shiny sea-snakes Green

The next question after the GOODS are

frightened pullets rush into their quar-

rain and wind chill them through and

the following day finds the coop filled
with dead chickens, or else the birds
have had such setback they never
recover fully.
