And soon his Ship in ‘quiet’ lay On the bosom of a calm, deep-water bay, Which he called the “Ray of Orford’s”? Daughter Entertained Louis Knapp III Quoth he—some day, a huge rock wall Will protect this spot from storm and squall. For the water is deep, and the coast-line, clean. It’s the kind of a harbor of which men dream. Has no bar. needs no dredging, needs only a wall To make it a safe, deep port o’ call; Then the ships that roam the ‘seven seas’ Will have real cause to remember me. For I’ve named this the “Bay of Orford’s.” ' His proud ship slowly rose and fell As it rode serene on the gentle swell, 'Till the storm had spent its fury, quite, Then to Port Orford he whispered, “Good night;” And left behind him, famed Orford’s Bay, Where soon will rise a grand sea wall Making true his dream of a ‘deep port o’ call’ And they’ve named it for him — Port Orford.
