"WRECK ASHORE In days wher pirates sailed the sea Around this little isle, And every man had master plans To make his little pile, ‘Tt was the customary thing To own a sailing craft; And when. a ship was wrecked offshore, Sails, upped from bow to aft. A race was on ‘to reach the wreck, For whoso got there first, Was master of the cargo found, Whether silks, or rum for thirst. When came the cry of “Wreck Ashore” Above the northeast gale, Off Duval Street, around the bend Swept ships a-crowding sail. With, thirty. of these sailing ships, It was a thrilling sight, To see those sails al] billowing In ranks of shining white. Before a stiff northeaster wind, They jtbed with all they had; Men, swore that sails enough were out To sail to Trinidad.
