| THE SIGNAL IS ANSWERED The foam sparkles rise | H |
| Like tears from the fountain of joy to the eyes | H |
| May rain drops that fall from the storm clouds of care | I |
| Melt away in the sun beaming smiles of the fair | I |
| One health as chime gaily the nautical bells | J |
| To woman God bless her wherever she dwells | J |
| THE PILOT'S ON BOARD thank heaven all's right | A |
| So be happy if never again boys to night | A |
