    Which we risked our lives to save
    As the Atlantic waves rose furiously
    Upon the rocks did break
    *****************(the missing line)
    The Captain William Templeton
    The boa'swain was the same
    The Steward Peter Seymour
    A good kind natured man
    The other was a seaman
    His name was Harry Gran
    ******************
    She came from Minatitalim
    With the cargo of mahogany
    To Cork for orders bound
    And in File-na-Dige Beare Island
    Her destiny she found.
