The Boat Race.

The Boat Race.
485.6

The boats were ready for the start.
The signal then was given,
Away they went with one accord
The “Isabel” and “Riven.”

But at last the sailors lost control,
The brave boats smashed together,
And to the bottom they both went
Victims of wind and weather.

Now weeks have passed, and still we talk
Of that disastrous “rub”
Which caused two boats one summer morn,
To sink in our bath-tub!
