Eleven weeks in quarantine;
While ’ ellow fever, sunk the crew
Deep in its complementary blue;
And Ion« before,—while tempteet tost—
Her masts and rigging had been lost—
And then the orew.—a frantic horde,—
Had pitched the cargo overboard.
And then, a »'earner of the line,
Bore down up this ship of mine,
And towed her throngh the waters wild

there is no provision in the act re
