   Eight o'clock in the morning we start,
   With a break for some lunch around twelve;
   Half-five is the hour for retiring;
   The rest of the day to ourselves.

   They constructed a boat at Belturbet
   With a dredger well out to her prow;
   To scour up Erne's wide water,
   Which could not be reached from the shore.
   XII
   Some places of interest she called at,
   I'll mention to-night if I can;
   She sailed up by famous Lock Aughter
   And halted for some time at "Rann."
   XIII
   "Killykeen" was her next port for calling,
   Where some of the crew were discharged;
   Then she sailed for a place called "The Derries"
   An outlet up there she enlarged.
   XIV
   The homeward she turned for "Trinity",
   But a storm arose on the way;
   And she sank mid the wild - rolling billows
   In the mouth of the Island's broad bay
