“A ship named the Cambria left New York to come to Ireland.”
A ship named the Cambria left New York to come to Ireland. Before it left all the people got booked except one man who was late and left the booking office broken-hearted.
When the ship left America all people were light-hearted and jolly. They sailed for ten days and ten nights without meeting any danger or harm until they reached the Irish shore. Then all people rushed on deck to see their native land when the ship struck a rock. All women and children rushed in and screamed for help but got no response.
