THE LIFE-BOAT.
(SEE FIRST PACE.) Been out in the life-boat often? Ay! ay! sir, often enough— -<-UWhen its rougher than this, why, bless you ! this ain’t what we calls rough ; It’s when there’s a gale a-blowing, and the waves run in and break On the shore with a roar like thunder, and the white cliffs seem to shake ; When the sea is a swirl of water and the bravest bolds his breath As he hears the cry for the lifeboat—his summons may be to death. That's what we call rough, sir, but if we can get her afloat There’s always enough brave fellows, ready to man the boat.
G. R. Sims.
