    (continued from previous page)
    When the storm rose they sought your shelter
    When compelled to fly from an angry bay.
    Once in your basin they were free from danger
    Though adverse winds made the billows roar
    With plenty space and a level water
    With ease and comfort they'd reach the shore
    And a white star liner or British cruiser
    Or the largest craft yet that we have seen
    Would find safe shelter within your harbour
    When chased by storm or a submarine.
