CHRISTMAS ON THE POLLY,
y By FRANK H. SWEET.
Copyright, 1909, by American Pross
Association
T was the good ship Polly, and
she sailed the wintry ses,
For thips must eail though
fierce the gale, and a pre
cious freight had she.
"Twas the captain’s little daughter
gtood beside her father's
~ chair
And illumined the dingy cabin with
the sunshine of her hair,
With’ahyo heave ho and & yo heave
o!
For ships must sail
Though fierce the gale
And loud the tempests blow.
The captein’s fingers rested on the
pretty, curly head.
“Tomorrow will be Christmas day,”
the little maiden said.
“Do you supposc that Santa Claus
will find us on the sca
And make believe the stovepipe is &
chimney just for met”
YToud laughed the jovial captain and
“By my faith,” he cried,
“If he should come we'll let him
know he has a fricnd inside!”
‘And many a rugged sailor cast a
loving look that night
At the stovepipe where a loaely lit
tle stocking fluttered white.
With a yo heave ho and 2 yo heave
ho!
- For ships must'sail
Though fierce the gale
And loud the tempests blow.

DO YOU SUPPOSE THAT SANTA CLAUS
WILL FIND US ON THE SEA ?”
iOn the good ship Polly the Christmas
sun shone down
‘And on a smiling little face beneath
a golden crown.
No happier child he saw that day on
sea or on the land
'Than the captain’s little daughter
f with her treasures in her
: hand.
For never was a stocking so filled
with curious things.
‘There were bracelets made of pretty
shells and rosy coral strings,
An elephant carved deftly from a bit
‘ es ivorv tusk.

Not a tar aboard the Polly but felt
" the Christmas cheer,
For the captein's little daughter was
to every sailor dear.
They heard a Christmas carol in the
shrieking wintry &nst.
For a child had touched them by her
simple, loving trust.
With a yo heave ho and a yo heave

And loud the tempests blow. -

large placard requesting passersby to
drop in a coin to help send Santa Claus
down the chimney with a big Christ

shoes, clothing or other supplies to the
city unfortunates,
