Not illustrated. 1897 Excerpt: ...the trail that is always new? See the shaking funnels roar, with the Peter at the fore, And the fenders grind and heave, And the derricks clack and grate, as the tackle hooks the crate, And the fall-rope whines through the sheave; It's " Gang-plank up and in," dear lass, It's " Hawsers warp her through!"
