"Upon the brink of the tempestuous wave,/ Waiting far out among the rocks and sand,/ The night o'ertaken mariner to save,/ And the great ships sail outward and return,/ Battling and bowing o'er the billowy swells/ And ever joyful they see it burn;/ They wave their silent welcome and return."--Longfellow. [P. 3; exhibited under heading: "Oil Paintings."]
