VERY MUCH AT SEA.
Eight Irishmen were emigrating to America. For the first three days out they were very ill. On the morning of the fourth day, when in mid-Atlantic they appeared on deck, and all being in a fearful fright, they went up in a body on to the bridge where the captain was. The captain wanted to know what they wanted. One of them said, ‘ Shure, your honour, we are a deputation come to ask you to keep as near the side as you possibly can. for not a divil amongst us can swim.’
