The first few days we sailed the sea
Right fair the wind did blow,
Our vessel, she being very light,
Across the ocean flew.
Our chronometer being out
In reckoning got astray,
And on the seventh of January
We were cast away.
"Loss of the Philosophy" Creighton,
Songs & Bal. from N. Scotia (also lost on 11/4)
