THB WRECKERS' SOKG. 215 



Den one week's cruise we'll have on shore, 



Before we do sail again ; 

 And drink success to the sailor lads 



Dat are ploughing of de main. 

 And when you are passing by this way, 

 On the Florida Reef should you chance to stray, 

 Why, we will come to you on the shore. 

 Amongst de rooks where de breakers roar. 



"'Great emphasis was laid upon particular words by the 

 singer, who had a broad German accent. Between the verses 

 he played a symphony, remarking, " Gentlemens, I makes dat 

 myself." The chorus was trolled by twenty or thirty voices, 

 which in the stillness ot the night produced no unpleasant 

 effect.'"
