THE SOUTH-EAST TRADE.
(By. Captain John Tombleson, -N.Z.T.) i East and West,, from. South -to North, Neptune's squadrons charging forth ; i Every roller bears them on, j Gleaming • Avhite beneath the sun. '■ Save that, "where, his oavh bright bearii j Drowns the picture ,in its gleam, | All the. world seems Avhite on blue, ! Even.' changing, eyer ' ne,Ay. Fair against pur , bows they ride, ' Rearing up : the vessel's side. " ; In the ' madness of their play Leaping at ua all the day. Boisterous sport is their desire,
And they never seem to tire ; Wetting with a gentle spray, Off once more . upon their way. See the rollers burst in foarii . ' As against but. weight they conje. Sideways tumbling, seething,, churning, ; * Even from .our pathway . turning. Light and dark blue, Avhite ori, green, .Mixed 'up colors quickly, .seen ; Then away behind they race, [ Countless others take their place.
