The Three Bells.
BY JOHN' WJ11TT1EK.
Beneath the low hung high eloud
That raked her splintering m:tt
Tile good ship jellied slowly,
The cruel leak gtined fast.
Over the awful ocean
ller signal uuns pe-ilcd out,
Dear God! was that Tin an?vrer
From the horror round about ?
A voice came down the wild wind,
"Ho! ship ahov!" its crv :
"Our stout Three Hells of Gla'gcw
fchall stand til! daylight by!"
Dour after hour crept slov.lv,
Yet on tbo heaving suelli
Tossed up and down the ship-lights,
The lights of the Three Hells !
And ship to ship made signals,
Man answered hack to man,
While olt, to cheer and hearten,
The Three Bells nearer ran ;
And the captain from hertaflrail
Sent down his hopeful cry.
"Take heart! hold on!" he shouted.
The Three IMIs shall stand by !"
All night acros th'. waiter
Tl.e tossing lights shone clear:
All nfcllt from reeling twtl'rail
The Three Bell sent her cheer.
And when the dreary watches
Of storm and darkness passed,
.fust as the wreck lurched under,
All souls were saved at Ut.
Sail on. Three Bells, forexer,
In greatful memory s-iil !
King on, Tim Bells" E.'scue,
Above the waves and gale I
As thine, in night and tempest,
I hear the Master's cry,
Atid, tossing through the darkness,
The 1'ghts of God drew nigh !
