The seas rolled high like mountains the ship she struck a bank.
The captain cried “prepare my boys I fear we are all lost,
The only chance to save our lives is to tie on to the masts.”V

And twenty human bodies into the deep were laid,
And as we gazed upon them the many on the shore,
No help or aid to save their lives alas they are no more.VI
