Our Life-Boat Men

SEA-TITANS bold, with hearts that know not fear, Though wild waves billows rave, leap and clam'roua No care have they, nor thought of dangers near, When going forth, poor shipwrecked lives to save.

Through gulfs of death they fight for life these heirs of Vikings brave, The only fear they ever have—to Tie too late to save, So long, O sea-girt England, as ye rear such sons as these, Shall empires call thee " MOTHER," and "MISTRESS" all the seas.

J. C. BURLEIGH, Hastings.
