If anyone wants to transcribe the attached poem and send it to lsurridg@uvic.ca, please feel free. I could read the first few lines and thought it would be enough for her to find the original poem but I was wrong. She wants the whole thing transcribed and I’m having trouble with a few words.

Oops — in editing the message to rotate the picture, I clipped the title of the poem, which is SOS.
SOS
——-
Stand by all ships. Danger, wreck at work,
Grab the rudder, it is going
to be a wreck!
Avast! Strike up a hornpipe boys
Sailing, sailing little wreck
Will you (xxx) come back again
With a chest and fifteen men
Buy victory bonds
(oc?) and a bottle of rum!
