So give us a cast and take us aboard the old ship again, Mr. Woolston, if you love a fellow-creatur', and an old shipmate in distress.

Mind what I say, he has given his friends the slip, and persuaded this delicate young creatur all along of her fondness for him to be his guidewhere to, he knows no more than the man in the moon.

I wun't say the plan hed n't onpleasant featurs, For men are perverse an' onreasonin' creaturs, An' forgit thet in this life 't ain't likely to heppen Their own privit fancy should oltus be cappen, But it worked jest ez smooth ez the key of a safe, An' the gret Union bearins played free from all chafe.
