   iii
   She sailed from Arklow this gallant ship,
   Bound down for the English shore,
   But she sprang a leak outside Rosslare
   And was stranded just near Dunmore,
   She was towed from Passage to Cheekpoint quay.
   Now her hold is no longer dry.
   Battered fore and aft is that stately craft,
   That was once the schooner B.I.
   iv
   With an ugly list on her starboard bow,
   With her mainsail gone and her boom,
   Now her guardian angel is Captain Burns,
   With "Darkie" as nom-de-plume,
   She was auctioned as a scrap, and a Tramore man
   Her trappings and all did buy,
   He (prom) promised the "Darkie" ten shillings per week,
   To watch o'er the schooner B.I.
   v
   While the Captain slept one cloudy night,
   Some fellows came in a boat,
   Went aboard the schooner and took some ropes,
   They needed to fetter a goat.
   When the Captain found out the loss next day,
   He raised a terrible cry,
   For he did'nt know what the owner would say to the theft of the schooner B.I.
