Brentwood College Magazine But once again the fates oppose And from the West a storm arose. Soon, driven along on a running tide Great waves rose up on every side. At last, at May ' s, the foursome saw Two tiny dots upon the shore. Into the bay they slowly glide To tie up to the jetty ' s side. With smartness learned of Navy lore They towed the boats from off the shore Into the storm of wind and tide Oh! what a rough and rainy ride! With rudder jammed and motor dumb The boats seemed bound for Kingdom Come Until, as said in verse before, They used their heads and took to oar. At last, with motor running free, The four sat down in cheerful glee, Until they found with growing wrath Their boat was just a floating bath. The storm had grown from worse to worser, Creed phoned the news to Frank the Bursar; And A. CP. in righteous ire Was flying about in night attire. And here we draw a cautious veil And bring to an end our stirring tale How all were saved by the nautical knowledge Instilled and acquired at Brentwood College. [Page Twenty-Nine]

With stealth they pushed the vessels forth And sailed away toward the North. And all was joy and peace serene Until, of course, the unforeseen — A storm arose to their amaze And drove them swiftly into May ' s. Nor could they venture forth again So strong the force of wind and rain. Young Peter saw their sorry plight And welcomed them from out the night; Offered his car for the homeward drive, And no one saw the lads arrive. Next evening when the tea-bell rang Another culprit joined the gang. And down to Creed ' s the foursome went To sail again with sweet content. [ Page Twenty-Eight]
