The other boats, the yawl and pinnace, had

Been stove in the beginning of the gale;110

And the long-boat's condition was but bad,

As there were but two blankets for a sail,111

And one oar for a mast, which a young lad

Threw in by good luck over the ship's rail;

And two boats could not hold, far less be stored,

To save one half the people then on board.
