- (continued from previous page)The crew went in the water
And four of them were drowned
IV
Our Captain, being a smart young man
His courage stout and brave
He tried to reach the rigging.
His precious life to save.
Before he had time to do so
A sea came rolling on,
That swept the Captain overboard
He thought his life had gone.
V
Our Captain being a smart young man
There was luck from him in store;
He got upon a bullock's back
That brought him to the shore
Where he was kindly treated
By the people there that day,
And that ends my little song
About the wreck in Dunlough Bay.- Collector
