Wilson and Cranston and Hogan are gone, - With Darragh and Hassett and staunch Harrington; - For Collins and Johnston have opened the ball, - And to join in the dancing, out step Jones and Hall, - And they tripped to a tune that was far from being slow; - But what’s that to any one, whether or no? - - Cops,[4] warders and soldiers are running a race - And the mounted policemen prepare to give chase; - In the pensioner’s barracks the trumpet did blow, - And old Finnerty’s[5] bugle was purple, I know; - But the boys know their road, and are bound for to go; - So what’s that to any one, whether or no? - - There are two trotting teams on the Rockingham road, - From the gloom of a prison each bearing its load, - And full hearts are beating with freedom and joy, - As they sweep ’round the sand hills and through the Blackboy. - With the sunlight of Hope every face is aglow; - But what’s that to any one, whether or no? - - On, on through the bush, as they ride to the beach, - In vain for his captives may Robinson[6] screech, - And Harvest[7] may swagger to cover his fears - As they drag out the guns of the Perth volunteers; - But the Fenians are off; they may puff, pant and blow; - For what’s that to any one, whether or no? - - Near Rockingham jetty, upon the white sand, - With revolvers and rifles the Fenians stand— - Gay, fearless and free, stepping into their boat; - Shove her off! then out oars! on the waters afloat! - Now a right saucy Yankee tar takes them in tow; - And what’s that to any one, whether or no? - - Now Silvee and Toby and Mopsa give way, - For the good ship _Catalpa_ lies out in the bay. - “Come down, you big Louis,” the captain did roar, - “Now what do you say, men? pull off from the shore; - You Lombar, keep stroke; pull, men, cheerily, oh!” - And what’s that to any one, whether or no? - - Now past Garden Island, and clear off the Sound, - Make sail on the boat, pass the liquor around; - Shift your seats, trim the boat, as she bends to the breeze, - And light as a sea-gull skims over the seas; - There’s a rest from the oar, while the fair breezes blow; - And what’s that to any one, whether or no? - - At six in the evening we sighted the bark, - And we steered on her track till the evening grew dark, - When a squall coming down, with its venomous blast, - Almost swamped our good boat, as it tore out her mast; - So all night on the billows we tossed to and fro; - But what’s that to any one, whether or no? - - Next morning at seven we raised her again, - Topsails, mainsails and hull—we were nearing her plain, - When we spied the _Georgette_, steaming out of the Sound, - And we knew by her course for the bark she was bound; - So we hauled down our sail, then lay to and lay low; - But what’s that to any one, whether or no? - - So the _Georgette_ passed by bearing down on our ship; - All safe for the present—now, boys, let her rip; - Then we pulled in her wake for to see what she’d do, - And beside the _Catalpa_ we saw her heave to, - And lay alongside her ten minutes or so; - But what’s that to any one, whether or no? - - See the _Georgette_ steams off, and is running inshore; - Make sail on the boat, out with paddle and oar; - For with every sail set, on her course down the bay, - The good ship _Catalpa_ is bearing away. - To gain on her now we’ve a hard row to hoe; - But what’s that to any one, whether or no? - - To follow our bark we were pulling amain, - When we saw the _Georgette_ coming for us again. - In search of our boat she was steaming right back, - And we almost despaired as we lay in her track; - So we hauled down our sail and again we lay low; - And what’s that to any one, whether or no? - - Still nearer and nearer the steamer came on, - And our plan of escape seemed all shattered and gone; - Hope faded away to a very small speck, - As we saw her lookout and the men on her deck; - But she passed us unseen—Fate had ordered it so; - And what’s that to any one, whether or no? - - So the steamer passed on, and was soon out of sight; - Boys, now for the bark, we must catch her ere night; - Every stroke is for freedom—pull fast, and pull strong— - Pull, fellows, together and send her along; - See the bark change her course, heading for us I trow; - And what’s that to any one, whether or no? - - It was two in the evening, and everything clear, - The bark coming to us, and nothing to fear, - When a sail on our lee, standing out from the shore, - Set us pulling our strongest with paddle and oar; - It’s a race for the ship, men; then row, bullies, row! - But what’s that to any one, whether or no? - - With the sail on our lee, heading on for the ship, - We pulled strong and steady, and gave her the slip; - For beside the _Catalpa_ we tossed oars at three, - With the water-police boat close up on her lee. - Quick on deck now, my lads! It was just “touch and go;” - But what’s that to any one, whether or no? - - Hoist the star-spangled banner, the flag of the free! - The brightest and best that waves over the sea: - May its stars ever brighten, its shadow increase, - Then a fig for John Bull and his water-police. - Wear ship! then for sea, blow you fair breezes, blow! - And what’s that to any one, whether or no? - - Here’s a health to brave Anthony, pass it along, - May his fortune be great, and his name live in song; - Here’s to Smith, our first-mate, fill your glasses with glee, - For a right manly, true-hearted sailor is he. - Here’s success to the cause that we all of us know; - But what’s that to any one, whether or no? - - Here’s the good ship _Catalpa_, and all her ship’s crew; - Land of felons and jailers, here’s to you adieu, - From your dry, sandy shores we are speeding away, - May your fortune be brighter at no distant day; - Here’s the land of the free, may it flourish and grow,— - And God prosper old Ireland wherever we go. - -[1] Comptroller-General. - -[2] Nickname of the prison chaplain. - -[3] Prison slang, meaning slipping away. - -[4] Slang for police. - -[5] Major Finnerty, commanding the military in Freemantle; bugle being -slang for nose, and the major’s fuddled up to the orthodox rosy red. - -[6] W.

fear and chains behind us - cast. - Rolling home! rolling home! rolling home across the sea; - Rolling home to bright Columbia; home to friends and Liberty. - - Through the waters blue and bright, through dark wave and hissing - foam, - Ever onward, with delight, we are sailing still for home; - O’er our pathway in the sunshine flies the wide-winged albatross; - O’er our topmast in the moonlight hangs the starry southern cross. - Rolling home, etc., etc. - - By the stormy Cape now flying, with a full and flowing sail; - See! the daylight ’round us dying on the black breast of the gale; - See! the lightning flash above us, and the dark surge roll below; - Here’s a health to those who love us, here’s defiance to the foe. - Rolling home, etc., etc. - - Now the wide Atlantic cleaving, with our good ship speeding free, - The dull “Cape of storms” we’re leaving far to eastward on our - lee; - And as homeward through the waters on the old _Catalpa_ goes, - Ho! you fellows on the masthead, let us hear once more, “He - blows!” - Rolling home, etc., etc. - - Next by lonely St. Helena, with a steady wind we glide, - By the rock-built, sea-girt prison where the gallant Frenchman - died; - With the flying-fish and porpoise sporting round us in the wave, - With the stars and stripes of freedom floating o’er us bright and - brave. - Rolling home, etc., etc. - - Past “the Line!” and now the Dipper[8] hangs glittering in the - sky, - Onward still! in the blue water see the Gulf-weed[9] passing by. - Homeward! homeward to Columbia! blow you steady breezes, blow; - Till we hear it from the masthead, the joyful cry, “Land, ho!” - Rolling home, etc., etc. - -[8] American sailors called Ursa Major the Dipper. - -[9] Meeting the Gulf-weed out at sea encouraged Columbus and his -sailors to continue on their course, it being considered an indication -of land. - - - - -The Cruise of the Catalpa. - - -_A Song written on the Homeward Voyage, and dedicated to the Crew._ - - I’m Irish, if you like, and perhaps my name is Mike; - I’m a land-crab, and but little of a sailor; - So, for want of better news, now I’ll tell you of a cruise - I once took on board a simple Yankee whaler. - From New Bedford she was bound to the Western whaling ground, - Where they said the whales were always found in plenty; - So a willing son of toil, in the hope of striking oil, - I shipped, the greenest hand amongst the twenty. - Our old barque was staunch and sound, copper-fastened and well - found,— - When I call her old, don’t think that I deride her; - Catalpa was her name, and when first on board I came, - I can tell you it was rather “rough on Snyder;” - For the captain and the mate, they were up both soon and late, - And around the decks kept hollering and bawling; - Though I wasn’t very sick, faith I’d rather cut my stick, - Than those blasted ropes eternally keep hauling. - - _Chorus._—Pass the bottle, if you please, now we’re sitting - at our ease, - Let us moisten up till song flows ripe and - mellow; - Here’s to every honest lass, and together as they - pass, - Here’s a health to every honest, manly fellow! - - Well we weathered out a gale, when we captured our first whale, - And a bully hundred-barreller we got; - May I never die in sin, when it came to cutting-in, - All hell was there to pay, and no pitch hot; - For the skipper stamped and tore, and the mates they jumped and - swore, - When they might as well just take it cool and easy; - And the way the blubber flew round the decks among the crew, - You’d imagine every man of them was crazy. - So we cruised the season out where the sperm-whales did spout, - And I learned what cutting-in and trying-out meant; - When, on a friendly call, we anchored at Fayal, - And sent our oil on shore there for transhipment. - Then we hoisted sail again, bound for the Spanish main, - Six months upon hard-tack, salt beef and pork. - Some may like a sailor’s life, but I’d rather have a wife, - And the humblest little shanty in New York. - _Chorus._—Pass the bottle round, etc. - - Steering for the river Platte, so the captain and the mate - Told us, green ones, who inquired where we were going; - But eastward, day by day, we kept bearing still away, - And where he meant to stop there was no knowing. - So the shellbacks then began to growl at the “old man,” - Steering for the river Platte in such a manner; - But as little did they know where the skipper meant to go, - As a puppy dog of etiquette or grammar. - Well, we sighted land at last, and soon our anchor cast, - But to name the place, I guess, my friends, would fail ye; - For the land to which we bore, and where we went ashore, - Was Bunbury, in Western Australia. - We entered for recruits, wood, water, fish and fruits, - Spuds, onions, and our liberty on shore; - In a fortnight, well prepared, scrubbed, painted and repaired, - We hoisted sail and put to sea once more. - _Chorus._—Pass the bottle round, etc. - - And then the joy began for every Irishman, - Whose soul indignant spurns at British slavery, - Who hates the tyrant guile, and the cunning, low and vile, - That fosters cant, hypocrisy and knavery. - Six Irish soldiers brave, rescued from the living grave, - In which the cursed spite of England bound them, - Life and liberty to save, came flying o’er the wave, - And along with our bold skipper there we found them. - Then the British lion roared for his captives; and, on board - A steamer, sent out soldiery to find them; - Police and volunteers, great guns and cannoneers, - To capture, and once more in fetters bind them. - They followed us all day, and we couldn’t get away, - For the wind was light, and blowing on the land; - And we tacked all through the night, till the early morning light - Showed the steamer coming for us close at hand. - _Chorus._—Pass the bottle, etc. - - It was useless strife to wage, she had got the weather-gage, - On the wind she couldn’t hope to outsail her; - So we held upon our course, to see what moral force - They’d try upon the simple Yankee whaler. - Then hot in haste and rage, all ready to engage, - They came like bloodhounds straining at the slip, - And the boss of all these jailers, to frighten us poor sailors, - Fired a round shot from his cannon at our ship. - We never cracked a lay, on our course still bore away, - And he found we wouldn’t scare worth a cent; - So another dodge he tried, but we knew the beggar lied, - When he said he’d orders from our government. - Then like a puffing pig, he strutted very big, - On his quarter-deck, and loudly gave us warning, - That he’d blow us to the devil, which wasn’t very civil - To lads who’d been up early in the morning. - _Chorus._—Pass the bottle, etc. - - But he found us rather fly, alive, quite pert, and spry, - Cool and ready for this boast, right little caring, - And our answer soon went back, as upon the starboard tack, - Right down upon his broadside we came bearing; - For we knew our cause was just, so in God we put our trust, - For Liberty, all threats and danger scorning; - And o’er our heads there flew Freedom’s flag, red, white and blue, - Streaming gaily in the breeze, our peak adorning. - Then he hailed us once again, having blustered all in vain, - With a mild request to let him come on board; - But our captain answered no; “it would never do for Joe;” - At sea to stop, he couldn’t well afford. - So they left us in despair, and skulked off to their lair, - Whilst our starry flag with joyful hearts we hail her, - For the lion dropped his tail, and his growl became a wail, - When bearded by a simple Yankee whaler. - _Chorus._—Pass the bottle, etc. - - I’m Irish if you like, and perhaps my name is _Mike_, - I’m a land-crab, and but little of a sailor; - From the Western whaling ground, all safe and homeward bound, - On board a little, saucy Yankee whaler. - You may say I’ve lots of cheek, aye, and maybe call me _Greek_, - Though I never knew Omega yet from Alpha; - But I’ve sailed the world around, on the goose you’ll find I’m - sound, - And I’ve cruised aboard the gallant old _Catalpa_. - Pass the bottle, if you please, now we’re sitting at our ease, - Let us moisten up till song flows ripe and mellow; - Here’s to every honest lass, and as on through life they pass, - Here’s a health to every honest, manly fellow. - - - - -The Sunburst and Tricolor. - - -[_Written previous to sailing for Australia, and dedicated to the -“U.I.B.”_] - - AIR.—_Down, down in our village._ - - Comrades, around, come let us sing, - The Sunburst and the Tricolor; - Our hearts’ affections ’round them cling, - With hope and pride for evermore. - Now first to _thee_ our fathers raised, - Proud standard of the mighty dead! - Whose golden glory flashed and blazed - In triumph, o’er their victor tread. - The Green! the Green! - With emerald sheen, - Though Time hath tarnished many a fold; - The blood and tears, - And dust of years, - ’Twill cast them off when once unrolled. - Our own old flag, - Our dear old flag, - Our native Green! - Our own dear flag, - ’Twill wave again, - O’er earth and main, - Our native Green! - Our Sunburst flag. - - Hurrah! ’tis freedom’s earliest dawn, - Bright streamers flash the cloudy skies; - Out from the night of slavery drawn, - Behold our Tricolor arise! - The emblem of a patriot’s love, - The symbol of a Nation’s faith, - We swear each fold that floats above, - To hold and guard it until death. - Soon may we see - Amongst the free - Our Tricolor, a standard brave! - Green, white and gold, - Proudly unrolled, - Triumphant over Ireland wave! - Our own young flag, - Our dear young flag, - Our Tricolor. - Our brave young flag, - Long torn and tried; - Now side by side, - True hearts uphold, - Our brave young flag. - - - - - -End of Project Gutenberg's The Cruise of the Catalpa, by John J.

-<span class="i0">I’m a land-crab, and but little of a sailor;</span> -<span class="i0">So, for want of better news, now I’ll tell you of a cruise</span> -<span class="i0">I once took on board a simple Yankee whaler.</span> -<span class="i0">From New Bedford she was bound to the Western whaling ground,</span> -<span class="i0">Where they said the whales were always found in plenty;</span> -<span class="i0">So a willing son of toil, in the hope of striking oil,</span> -<span class="i0">I shipped, the greenest hand amongst the twenty.</span> -<span class="i0">Our old barque was staunch and sound, copper-fastened and well found,—</span> -<span class="i0">When I call her old, don’t think that I deride her;</span> -<span class="i0">Catalpa was her name, and when first on board I came,</span> -<span class="i0">I can tell you it was rather “rough on Snyder;”</span> -<span class="i0">For the captain and the mate, they were up both soon and late,</span> -<span class="i0">And around the decks kept hollering and bawling;</span> -<span class="i0">Though I wasn’t very sick, faith I’d rather cut my stick,</span> -<span class="i0">Than those blasted ropes eternally keep hauling.</span> -</div><div class="stanza"> -<span class="i0"><i>Chorus.</i>—Pass the bottle, if you please, now we’re sitting at our ease,</span> -<span class="i12">Let us moisten up till song flows ripe and mellow;</span> -<span class="i10">Here’s to every honest lass, and together as they pass,</span> -<span class="i12">Here’s a health to every honest, manly fellow!</span> -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">[Pg 13]</a></span> -</div><div class="stanza"> -<span class="i0">Well we weathered out a gale, when we captured our first whale,</span> -<span class="i0">And a bully hundred-barreller we got;</span> -<span class="i0">May I never die in sin, when it came to cutting-in,</span> -<span class="i0">All hell was there to pay, and no pitch hot;</span> -<span class="i0">For the skipper stamped and tore, and the mates they jumped and swore,</span> -<span class="i0">When they might as well just take it cool and easy;</span> -<span class="i0">And the way the blubber flew round the decks among the crew,</span> -<span class="i0">You’d imagine every man of them was crazy.</span> -<span class="i0">So we cruised the season out where the sperm-whales did spout,</span> -<span class="i0">And I learned what cutting-in and trying-out meant;</span> -<span class="i0">When, on a friendly call, we anchored at Fayal,</span> -<span class="i0">And sent our oil on shore there for transhipment.</span> -<span class="i0">Then we hoisted sail again, bound for the Spanish main,</span> -<span class="i0">Six months upon hard-tack, salt beef and pork.</span> -<span class="i0">Some may like a sailor’s life, but I’d rather have a wife,</span> -<span class="i0">And the humblest little shanty in New York.</span> -<span class="i18"><i>Chorus.</i>—Pass the bottle round, etc.</span> -</div><div class="stanza"> -<span class="i0">Steering for the river Platte, so the captain and the mate</span> -<span class="i0">Told us, green ones, who inquired where we were going;</span> -<span class="i0">But eastward, day by day, we kept bearing still away,</span> -<span class="i0">And where he meant to stop there was no knowing.</span> -<span class="i0">So the shellbacks then began to growl at the “old man,”</span> -<span class="i0">Steering for the river Platte in such a manner;</span> -<span class="i0">But as little did they know where the skipper meant to go,</span> -<span class="i0">As a puppy dog of etiquette or grammar.</span> -<span class="i0">Well, we sighted land at last, and soon our anchor cast,</span> -<span class="i0">But to name the place, I guess, my friends, would fail ye;</span> -<span class="i0">For the land to which we bore, and where we went ashore,</span> -<span class="i0">Was Bunbury, in Western Australia.</span> -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">[Pg 14]</a></span> -<span class="i0">We entered for recruits, wood, water, fish and fruits,</span> -<span class="i0">Spuds, onions, and our liberty on shore;</span> -<span class="i0">In a fortnight, well prepared, scrubbed, painted and repaired,</span> -<span class="i0">We hoisted sail and put to sea once more.</span> -<span class="i18"><i>Chorus.</i>—Pass the bottle round, etc.</span> -</div><div class="stanza"> -<span class="i0">And then the joy began for every Irishman,</span> -<span class="i0">Whose soul indignant spurns at British slavery,</span> -<span class="i0">Who hates the tyrant guile, and the cunning, low and vile,</span> -<span class="i0">That fosters cant, hypocrisy and knavery.</span> -<span class="i0">Six Irish soldiers brave, rescued from the living grave,</span> -<span class="i0">In which the cursed spite of England bound them,</span> -<span class="i0">Life and liberty to save, came flying o’er the wave,</span> -<span class="i0">And along with our bold skipper there we found them.</span> -<span class="i0">Then the British lion roared for his captives; and, on board</span> -<span class="i0">A steamer, sent out soldiery to find them;</span> -<span class="i0">Police and volunteers, great guns and cannoneers,</span> -<span class="i0">To capture, and once more in fetters bind them.</span> -<span class="i0">They followed us all day, and we couldn’t get away,</span> -<span class="i0">For the wind was light, and blowing on the land;</span> -<span class="i0">And we tacked all through the night, till the early morning light</span> -<span class="i0">Showed the steamer coming for us close at hand.</span> -<span class="i18"><i>Chorus.</i>—Pass the bottle, etc.</span> -</div><div class="stanza"> -<span class="i0">It was useless strife to wage, she had got the weather-gage,</span> -<span class="i0">On the wind she couldn’t hope to outsail her;</span> -<span class="i0">So we held upon our course, to see what moral force</span> -<span class="i0">They’d try upon the simple Yankee whaler.</span> -<span class="i0">Then hot in haste and rage, all ready to engage,</span> -<span class="i0">They came like bloodhounds straining at the slip,</span> -<span class="i0">And the boss of all these jailers, to frighten us poor sailors,</span> -<span class="i0">Fired a round shot from his cannon at our ship.</span> -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15">[Pg 15]</a></span> -<span class="i0">We never cracked a lay, on our course still bore away,</span> -<span class="i0">And he found we wouldn’t scare worth a cent;</span> -<span class="i0">So another dodge he tried, but we knew the beggar lied,</span> -<span class="i0">When he said he’d orders from our government.</span> -<span class="i0">Then like a puffing pig, he strutted very big,</span> -<span class="i0">On his quarter-deck, and loudly gave us warning,</span> -<span class="i0">That he’d blow us to the devil, which wasn’t very civil</span> -<span class="i0">To lads who’d been up early in the morning.</span> -<span class="i18"><i>Chorus.</i>—Pass the bottle, etc.</span> -</div><div class="stanza"> -<span class="i0">But he found us rather fly, alive, quite pert, and spry,</span> -<span class="i0">Cool and ready for this boast, right little caring,</span> -<span class="i0">And our answer soon went back, as upon the starboard tack,</span> -<span class="i0">Right down upon his broadside we came bearing;</span> -<span class="i0">For we knew our cause was just, so in God we put our trust,</span> -<span class="i0">For Liberty, all threats and danger scorning;</span> -<span class="i0">And o’er our heads there flew Freedom’s flag, red, white and blue,</span> -<span class="i0">Streaming gaily in the breeze, our peak adorning.</span> -<span class="i0">Then he hailed us once again, having blustered all in vain,</span> -<span class="i0">With a mild request to let him come on board;</span> -<span class="i0">But our captain answered no; “it would never do for Joe;”</span> -<span class="i0">At sea to stop, he couldn’t well afford.</span> -<span class="i0">So they left us in despair, and skulked off to their lair,</span> -<span class="i0">Whilst our starry flag with joyful hearts we hail her,</span> -<span class="i0">For the lion dropped his tail, and his growl became a wail,</span> -<span class="i0">When bearded by a simple Yankee whaler.</span> -<span class="i18"><i>Chorus.</i>—Pass the bottle,
