11    The fight, the fight it did begin, Loud cannons they did roar,
The battle it lasted two hours and a half, When Captain James Stuart gave o'er.

That if he'll reign king o'er all the dry land, I will reign king o'er the sea."

A fragment sung in 1931 by Mrs Rachel Post, Belding, who remembered hearing her father sing the whole song.
