1 A PRETTY TNIBTITE TO
CAPTAIN FRANK MURRAY
("Here's a pretty tribute to Captain
Frank Murray, master of the Tana,
sent to The Kusko Times, by one who
signs "himself “A Sourdough Soldier
of Fortune.)
Here’s to Captain Murray, -a pilot
without a peer;
He stood a watch on the Yukon for
many, many a year;
Tho his hair .has turned to silver, his
eye is still clear and bright
And he rambles along .with the Tana
whether it’s day o might.
He used ito teach a Sunday school
class, in the days < of long ago;
But he fell -from grace and went the
' pace and many wild oats did
sow.
He’s always there \with his golden
smile, to welcome a lady.fair.
For he still has a love if or the oppo
site sex, in spite of'his silver
hair.
But when Gabriel blows This trumpet,
to summon the faithful from
here,
I know he will call :Eradk Murray,
the pilot without a peer.
