And when the boys had made their toys, They thought to put them to the test-- To try which boat, when set a-float, Would sail a-cross a tub the best. But Will and Tom, each blow-ing from A dif-fe-rent side, you well may guess, No boats could go straight on, and so They tacked a-bout in great dis-tress. Such heavy gales a-gainst their sails Made both the boats go whirl-ing round; The sails got wet, the boats up-set, And all the crew on board were drowned. [Illustration: When the warm sum-mer days draw near, From south-ern climes the Quails ap-pear.] [Illustration: South Afric's plains the Quag-gas roam, Re-mote from farm or set-tler's home.] [Illustration: The fish-er-man the Roach may hook, In quiet pond or gentle brook.] [Illustration: When the fell Rat-tle-snake slides near, The In-dian may its rat-tle hear.] [Illustration: "CONTRARY WINDS."] |
