' The circumstances were these: Before anyvoyage, the crew received a month's pay in advance, which, needless tosay, was spent ashore before the vessel sailed. Jack's first month onsea was therefore spent in clearing off his advance, which he calledworking off the dead horse. The end of that payless period wascelebrated with a solemn ceremony: a mass of straw, or whatever othercombustibles were to hand, was made up into a big bundle, whichsometimes did, and more often did not, resemble a horse.... This wasdragged round the deck by all hands, the shanty being sung meanwhile. The perambulation completed, the dead horse was lighted and hauled up, usually to the main-yardarm, and when the flames had got a good hold, the rope was cut and the blazing mass fell into the sea, amid shoutsof jubilation.
24. TOM'S GONE TO HILO This beautiful tune was very popular. I have chosen the version sungto me by Mr. George Vickers, although in the first chorus it differssomewhat from the version I learnt as a boy: [Music illustration: Away down Hilo etc.
