Dodge, Mary Mapes, 1830-1905 · [New York : Scribner & Co.] · leaf 504
The yachtsmen had their troubles. Count Elgardo tried to tack,But found hed lost his hammer; Lord Algernon turned backWhen a dog-fish chased his cat-boat; while Sir Dink (quite ill at ease),Quoth sadly, I d much rather see the sails than sail the seas! … SirDmlo Oh yes!—The Pancake won the race. I wont describe just how,Fort would augur ill to bore you, so I think I 11 leave you now.But let me just express the hope, before I say, Good-by,That, with so much water in it, youve not found this tale too dry!
