The Peasebags, Ridgelines, on the Table, To save the Dishes scarce were able, So Johnny, like his messmates, sate With one hand holding fast his plate, 34 Himself beneath the Scuttle seating, That he might see what he was eating ; And faith he thought himself quite subtle, To get a birth so near the scuttle.
Down came the saucepan John, we ween, As any Tiger-cat was keen ; JOHNNY NEWCOME IN THE NAVY 89 But, oh! his term of joy was soon up, For scarcely had he ta'en his spoon up, When, lo ! a se...a with vengeful stroke The scuttle glass to shivers broke ! One second filled the cabin brimming, And set, like frogs, the Reefers swimming. They soon escaped, but John was bother'd So to get out, he was half smother'd, The Flushing coat he'd missed that morn, Now re-appeared on torrent borne, From some dark nook it floated out, All sopped, just like a large dish-clout, And in the lieu of some old rug Or swab, 'twas used for scuttle plug ; In which capacity 'twas fated To serve until it moderated.
