- I
Far from the town of Galway
Their passage they did take
Our ninety-eight brave passengers
They met a watery grave.
II
The Captain cries "All hands on deck
Do not go down to sleep,
For I really think by the looks of it
We'll soon lie on the deep."The above lines were composed by a man from North Clare. Who he was I do not know. There were a good many verses in the poem, but these are the only two my father remembers. they were printed in one of the papers at the time of the wreck of the Ship Edmund.
