Good-by, you hun'red good fellows, with yo' hun'red horses and yo' hun'red wheels and yo' hun'red hurras."
And now that the white jacket has sunk to the bottom of the sea, and the blessed Capes of Virginia are believed to be broad on our bow though still out of sight our five hundred souls are fondly dreaming of home, and the iron throats of the guns round the galley re-echo with their songs and hurras what more remains?
