Now the crew was assembled in the rowboat, and K rations were issued to all the men except Van Kirschner, who was kept in chains for attempting to stop the mutiny. Van, our hero, was com- pelled to row the boat to the shore. Stepping out first on this new island was not Stewpot, nor was it Cutlass,' Caulk, nor Bucket of Blood Bullock, nor Bad Mouth Bock, nor Hoopdick iI-Iernandes, nor K'Butcher,' Brown, nor Kil- luml' Crowder, but our hero, who was sent to the shore first of all to see what danger lurked behind every swaying palm. Yes, these cutthroats were brave men, but the bravest of all was Van,,' that handsome devil. Camp was made and soon all was quiet. Van, who was not asleep, rowed back to the old ship and took Galves out of irons. There they armed themselves and started out to capture the mu- tineers. At the camp Kirschner's absence had been discovered, and the whole island was being searched. Then the mutineers spotted the two, Van and Galves. Swords were drawn and Galves shrank back in fear, but our hero drew his trusty cutlass and with a few swings cut down Butcher, Hoopdick,l' Killum, and Bad Mouth. Still they charged, and learned their mistake too late. Stew, the last of the crew, pulled his gun and fired a shot which found its mark in Kirsch- nerls body, but in our herols last effort he hacked Stew from head to toe. Galves came and blessed the hero, who was sinking into the far beyond. Out of loyalty he named this fair land Kirschner. But in later years the Chamber of Commerce changed the 'island's name to Galveston in memory of Galves. This is the only true historical document of The History of Kirschner Islandf, later named Galveston. Editor's Note: Any resemblance to persons living or dead is pure- ly intentional. Forgive us, Senor Galves. Bitter Disappointments I would speak and move men to deeds of greatness, I would sing and inspire those who hear, I would compose and bring joy and satisfaction, I would write and express in words my thoughts, But the words come out a stutter, The vocal cords don't work together. Notes and harmonies are only confusing, And strangely enough-it takes a mind to write! by Martha McGIathery 113
