Not illustrated. 1919 Excerpt: ...the old three-decker at the Islands of the Blest!.. That route is barred to steamers: you'll never lift again Our purple-painted headlands or the lordly keeps of Spain. They're just beyond your skyline, howe'er so far you cruise In a ram-you-damn-you liner with a brace of bucking screws. Swing round your aching search-light--'twill show no haven's peace. Ay, blow your shrieking sirens at the deaf, grey-bearded seas. Boom out the dripping oil-bags to skin the deep's unrest--And you aren't one knot the nearer to the Islands of the Blestl "But when you're threshing, crippled, with broken bridge and rail, At a drogue of dead convictions to hold you head to gale, Calm as the Flying Dutchman, from truck to taffrail dressed, You'll see the old three-decker for the Islands of the Blest. You'll see her tiering canvas in sheeted silver spread; You'll hear the long-drawn thunder 'neath her leaping figure-head; While far, so far above you, her tall poop-lanterns shine Unvexed by wind or weather like the candles round a shrine! Hull down--hull down and under--she dwindles to a speck, With noise of pleasant music and dancing on her deck. All's well--all's well aboard her--she's left you far behind, With a scent of old-world roses through the foe that ties you blind. Her crews are babes or madmen? Her port is all to make? You're manned by Truth and Science, and you steam for oteaming's sake? Well, tinker up your engines--you know your business best--She's taking tired people to the Islands of the Blest!
