- (continued from previous page)To rescue me from my sad state,
Though daring was the deed.

Their names for to make mention.
To them, great thanks is due.
Tom and Andy Beasley, Lynch and Grady too.
"Strahen" oer the coastguards,
Without neither fear or strife.
Who nobly did endeavour,
To save my precious life.

They took me down to sweet Schull town, Where I was safely moored,
Where I was clad and cheerful,
My health was soon restored.
Aboard the "Chance" I got a birth.
Where I do safely lie.
And, sweet Schull town,
I'll never forget until the day I'll die.
