Finally the pair, taken in provisionsQuite sufficient for the voyage. 213 Sallied forth to get their they bore it on their shoulders,With the sail and both the paddles,While the pup, attached to Tommie,Followed closely on behind Soon the craft was safely a swan she floated, trimly;Both the crew and all the ballast(Which was Dan, the luckless canine,)Safely stowed themselves on board the breeze with gentle them off toward Allen City. Long the voyage was and pleasant;Nothing happened to delay them,Save the man demanding shekelsAt the lock (who didnt get was told to seek them—elsewhere!)And at noon the destination,Allen city, Dutch, romantic,Smiling welcome, stood before canal they left behind them. Out upon the dam they glided;On the dam across the Lehigh,Where the water, rushing, foaming,In the spring-time tumbles turbid,Falling, leaping oer the barrierThat retains the lake above it. Here they cruised in all their up, and down, and cross-wis<While the pup, unthinking, youthful,Crept ahead beneath the decking,Where he slumbered, deeply peaceful. Careless now became the captain;(Fresh the wind and very gusty)Quite forgot to watch the waters
