                        Ballad�此               �Etiquette 



     The    BALLYSHANNON             foundered    off  the   coast  of  Cariboo�察   �And 

down   in   fathoms   many   went   the   captain   and   the   crew�察  �Down   went   the 

owners ´ greedy men whom hope of gain allured�此�Oh�察�dry the starting tear�察�

for they were heavily insured。 

    Besides   the   captain   and    the   mate�察  �the   owners   and   the   crew�察  �The 

passengers were also drowned excepting only two�此�Young PETER GRAY�察�

who   tasted   teas   for   BAKER�察  �CROOP�察  �AND   CO。�察  �And   SOMERS�察  �who 

from Eastern shores imported indigo。 

     These passengers�察�by reason of their clinging to a mast�察�Upon a desert 

island     were    eventually     cast。   They     hunted     for   their   meals�察   �as 

ALEXANDER SELKIRK used�察�But they couldn't chat together ´ they had 

not been introduced。 

    For PETER GRAY�察�and SOMERS too�察�though certainly in trade�察�Were 

properly particular about the friends they made�察�And somehow thus they 

settled it without a word of mouth ´ That GRAY should take the northern 

half�察�while SOMERS took the south。 

     On PETER'S portion oysters grew ´ a delicacy rare�察�But oysters were a 

delicacy    PETER      couldn't   bear。  On   SOMERS'       side  was   turtle�察 �on  the 

shingle lying thick�察�Which SOMERS couldn't eat�察�because it always made 

him sick。 

     GRAY gnashed his teeth with envy as he saw a mighty store Of turtle 

unmolested   on   his   fellow´creature's   shore。   The   oysters   at   his   feet   aside 

impatiently he shoved�察�For turtle and his mother were the only things he 

loved。 

    And   SOMERS   sighed   in   sorrow   as   he   settled   in   the   south�察  �For   the 

thought of PETER'S oysters brought the water to his mouth。 He longed to 

lay him down upon the shelly bed�察�and stuff�此�He had often eaten oysters�察�

but had never had enough。 

    How they wished an introduction to each other they had had When on 

board the BALLYSHANNON�                 �And it drove them nearly mad To think 

how   very   friendly   with   each   other   they   might   get�察  �If   it   wasn't   for   the

     One    day�察  �when    out   a´hunting    for  the  MUS     RIDICULUS�察        �GRAY 

overheard his fellow´man soliloquizing thus�此 �I wonder how the playmates 

of   my   youth   are   getting   on�察  �M'CONNELL�察  �S。   B。   WALTERS�察  �PADDY 

BYLES�察�and ROBINSON�拭─�

     These    simple    words    made    PETER      as  delighted    as  could   be�察 �Old 

chummies       at  the  Charterhouse     were    ROBINSON         and   he�  �He   walked 

straight up to SOMERS�察�then he turned extremely red�察�Hesitated�察�hummed 

and hawed a bit�察�then cleared his throat�察�and said�此�

     I beg your pardon ´ pray forgive me if I seem too bold�察�But you have 

breathed a name I knew familiarly of old。 You spoke aloud of ROBINSON 

´ I happened to be by。 You know him�拭─              �Yes�察�extremely well。;        ;Allow 

me�察�so do I。; 

     It was enough�此      �they felt they could more pleasantly get on�察�For ��ah�察�

the magic of the fact�。� they each knew ROBINSON� �And Mr。 SOMERS' 

turtle   was    at  PETER'S      service    quite�察  �And    Mr。   SOMERS        punished 

PETER'S oyster´beds all night。 

     They   soon   became   like   brothers   from   community   of   wrongs�此  �They 

wrote   each   other   little   odes   and   sang   each   other   songs�察  �They   told   each 

other   anecdotes   disparaging their   wives�察  �On   several occasions�察 �too�察  �they 

saved each other's lives。 

     They felt quite melancholy when they parted for the night�察�And got up 

in the morning soon as ever it was light�察�Each other's pleasant company 

they reckoned so upon�察�And all because it happened that they both knew 

ROBINSON�          �They lived for many years on that inhospitable shore�察�And 

day by day they learned to love each other more and more。 At last�察�to their 

astonishment�察�on getting up one day�察�They saw a frigate anchored in the 

offing of the bay。 

     To PETER an idea occurred。            ;Suppose we cross the main�拭�So good 

an opportunity may not be found again。; And SOMERS thought a minute�察�

then   ejaculated�察   �Done�   �I   wonder   how   my  business   in   the   City's   getting 

on�拭─�

     ;But   stay�察─  �said  Mr。   PETER�此      �when     in  England�察   �as   you  know�察   �I 

earned   a   living   tasting   teas   for   BAKER�察  �CROOP�察�AND   CO。�察  �I   may   be

superseded ´ my employers think me dead� ─ �Then come with me�察─�said 

SOMERS�察 �and taste indigo instead。; 

     But all their plans were scattered in a moment when they found The 

vessel   was   a   convict   ship   from   Portland�察  �outward   bound�察  �When   a   boat 

came off to fetch them�察�though they felt it very kind�察�To go on board they 

firmly but respectfully declined。 

     As   both    the   happy   settlers   roared   with  laughter   at   the   joke�察 �They 

recognized   a   gentlemanly   fellow   pulling   stroke�此  �'Twas   ROBINSON   ´   a 

convict�察    �in   an   unbecoming       frock�    �Condemned        to  seven     years   for 

misappropriating stock�。。 �

     They laughed no more�察�for SOMERS thought he had been rather rash 

In   knowing   one   whose   friend       had   misappropriated      cash�察  �And    PETER 

thought a foolish tack he must have gone upon In making the acquaintance 

of a friend of ROBINSON。 

     At first they didn't quarrel very openly�察�I've heard�察�They nodded when 

they met�察�and now and then exchanged a word�此�The word grew rare�察�and 

rarer still the nodding of the head�察�And when they meet each other now�察�

they cut each other dead。 

     To   allocate   the   island   they   agreed   by   word   of   mouth�察  �And   PETER 

takes the north again�察�and SOMERS takes the south�察�And PETER has the 

oysters�察  �which   he   hates�察  �in   layers   thick�察 �And   SOMERS   has   the   turtle   ´ 

turtle always makes him sick。
