Colin Our Hardy Helmsman

Colin, her hardy helmsman, stood stonelike at her stern;

he read the crests and troughs of sea and pulled her through each turn.

With a dripping glance at the compass, our seasoned sailor knew

daylight growing dim, odds now growing slim,

It was up to none but him to keep the Lonnie Bruner true.
