I have also made for them the drawings and -the chart which illustrate the account. - -The owners of this small merchant fleet had nowhere else handy to float -their vessels in than the small and winding Gara river and a very small -pond; the vessels when upon the river drove along with the stream, their -sails, when they had any, only being of use to get them out of bad -places, except occasionally when the current ran slowly; then, with a -fair wind, the "Pasear" and the "Monte," at any rate, would walk along -at a fine pace. - -Long, light sticks were carried to steer the ships round dangerous -corners, and through narrow and difficult channels like the Two Snags; -and when I say she steered this way, or her skipper took such a course, -you will understand it is just put that way because it sounds better. - -The two longest voyages were those of the "Theodore" and the "Pasear," -both of which vessels travelled about a mile along the river. The owners -think that any other little boys who live near a stream sufficiently -deep to float ships drawing so little water might like to follow their -example and build a fleet, therefore I am to tell you how each vessel -was built, as well as the story of its voyage. - -The chart shows the winding river down which the clippers voyaged, and -on it are marked the various snags, rapids, and other dangers. - - JACK B. YEATS, - _Gara River_. - -The owners and myself are indebted to the Fleet Poet for the verses -through the book. - -THE FLEET. - - _The Monte_ Fore and Aft Schooner - _The Moby Dick_ Paddle Steamboat - _The Theodore_ Fireship - _The Pasear_ Top-sail Schooner - _The New Corinthian_ Brig - - - - -[Illustration] - - - - -THE "MONTE" - - -The "Monte" was the first of our vessels, and was made out of a flat -piece of wood about five inches long, shaped at one end for the bow. She -had two masts of very thin wood, and was rigged as a fore and aft -schooner with paper sails, which had holes in them so as to fasten them -to the masts. - -She had a stone underneath her to keep her upright, and a piece of -string tied round her, amidships, to keep on the stone. In the picture -the stone is shown through the water, so that you can see how it was -fastened on, but it did not really show like that. - - -THE "MONTE'S" VOYAGE - -She started from No Name Strait with wind and tide; it was blowing a -gale at the time--of course you will understand that it was not blowing -a gale _to us_, but in proportion to the size of her, it must have been -a gale to _her_. - -She kept her course toward the land, going by the Round Channel, as we -had not then discovered the passage through the Two Snags she then put -her helm to port and bore away for mid-stream to avoid the nifty Snags -that lie at the foot of the bluff called Pirate's Leap, called that -because a poet who had been a pirate, I expect, was thinking about a -poem when he ought to have been shoving the vessel off the rocks, and so -he fell in. - -The "Monte" then put her head south-west by south, half south, a little -southerly, sir, and tried to make the current called the Bully Bowline, -but she kept too far to the west'ard, and so she got caught by the other -current, the wrong one, called the Blackwall Hitch. The "Monte's" -skipper got excited then, and tried to cross the middle of the river, -but she dashed round in the current under the cliffs, and was only saved -by very good steering from running straight into the very dangerous -snags called the Bad Snags. - -However, she weathered them and dashed on over the Marbley Shallows; we -called them that because the stones under the water used to roll along -like a lot of little marbles. She kept a fine course from that on, and -went at a great pace, about fifteen knots; once she stuck her nose in -the bank, but the sails swung her round, so on she went and ran -beautifully into Safety Cove. But, like a silly, her skipper came out of -it again before we could tell him not to, and hit against, oh! such a -nasty rock; it heaved her on her beamends, and then she turned very -slowly round until her masts and sails were underneath, and her stone -keel on top. And that was the end of her. - -This was what the Pirate Poet made about her: - - And now by Gara rushes, - When stars are blinking white; - And sleep has stilled the thrushes, - And sunset brings the night; - - There, where the stones are gleamin', - A passer-by can hark - To the old drowned "Monte" seamen - A-singing through the dark. - - There, where the gnats are pesky, - They sing like anything; - They sing like Jean de Reszke, - This is the song they sing: - - Down in the pebbled ridges - Our old bones sing and shout; - We see the dancing midges, - We feel the skipping trout. - - Our bones are green and weeded, - Our bones are old and wet; - But the noble deeds that we did - We never can forget. - -[Illustration] - - - - -[Illustration] - - - - -THE "MOBY DICK" - - She sailed down Gara Valley, - She startled all the cows; - With touchwood in her galley, - And green paint round her bows. - - * * * * * - -The "Moby Dick" was supposed to be a Mississippi River steamboat; she -was built out of a flat piece of board almost fourteen inches long and -six inches broad; on top of that she had a cardboard box with cabin -windows drawn on it, and she had cardboard paddle-boxes with her name -painted on them with ink; she also had an eagle painted on her -deck-house. Inside her deck-house there was a cocoa tin with a -cardboard funnel coming out of the top of it. The tin was there so that -we could make a fire in it of paper and touchwood. At first, when we -made our fire, it would not burn because there was no draught, so we -made a large hole in front of the deck-house and another one abaft, also -holes in the side of the cocoa tin; that made a draught, and then you -should have seen the smoke coming out of her funnel! - - -THE FIRST VOYAGE OF THE "MOBY DICK" - -She started from No Name Straits, but she had to put back again because -her fire was not burning, so we stirred it up a bit and put in some more -dry touchwood, then it smoked fine, and we let her go. - -She was going the Round Channel when her Mate sung out to the Captain: - -"She'll go through the Two Snags!" - -"She'll never do it!" shouted the Captain. - -"Let's try her!" yelled the Mate. - -"Go ahead!" roared the Captain, and the Mate shoved the helm hard up, -and she slid through without touching anywhere. - -[Illustration] - -_And so the "Moby Dick" was the first to use the Two Snags Passage._ -Since then all our vessels have used it. - -After she had passed through she bore away towards the easterly shore, -and went easily along with the Bully Bowline current; but as she was not -smoking properly, her Captain gave orders to beach her on Treasure Beach -(we called it that name because it looked just the sort of beach pirates -would choose to bury treasure in). When she came ashore we stirred up -her furnace until it burnt magnificently, then we shoved her off again, -and she looked really great as her smoke and herself were both reflected -in the water as clear as anything. She then continued her voyage over -the Marbley Shallows on to Safety Cove. - -The "Moby Dick" did so well that run that we thought we would send her -down the river again at once, and we _did_ send her down, and no -mistake, because we put an anchor on her stern, with lots of cable, and -just when she was going through No Name Straits she let go her anchor, -because we wanted to see how she would look when it brought her up all -standing. - -Well, she dragged her anchor for a few yards until it caught in a weed, -and what did she do but get pulled right down to the bottom of the -river, the stream was too strong for her. - - She came to flying anchor - At the twilight time of day, - But the strain on the cable sank her, - And her crew, oh, where were they? - - - - -[Illustration] - - - - -THE "THEODORE" - - -There was nothing very grand about the appearance of the "Theodore"; we -were in a great hurry to go out, so could only build her very badly, but -in spite of that she was a jolly good clipper. - -She was built out of a long cardboard box, and had the lines of her -ports painted on with ink, and the portholes were cut out. She did not -have any masts, we did not have time to make any for her. - - -THE VERY LONG VOYAGE OF THE "THEODORE." - -The "Theodore" was launched to the north of the Two Snags, but she -caught fire suddenly--really, we set fire to a lot of touchwood and -stuff inside her because we wanted to see what a ship on fire would look -like on the river. - -And she looked splendid with the crimson flames coming out of her ports, -and the reflection on the still piece of water just under the cliffs was -beautiful. - -The fire burnt away like mad, and did not go out till she got as far as -Safety Cove. But the fire had not done the old "Theodore" a bit of harm; -the water kept the fire from burning through her, except for one big -hole the fire had burnt through just above the water line. - -The skipper set all hands to work to rig up a tarpaulin to keep the -water out; we really stuffed a big dock leaf in, and the "Theodore" -continued her voyage right through a terribly dangerous passage at the -western end of the Twisty Straits, opposite the Desolate Dead Man's -Teeth, and she passed The Narrows, the most dangerous place on the whole -river, where there is only just room for one vessel to pass through at a -time. - -She continued round the next bend in great style, passing under the -Buccaneers' Gallows, another most desperate place, and came out in the -beautiful clear water, where she went along finely. - -[Illustration] - -Then we had to go home, and the last we saw of her she was going round a -big bend as fast as anything, and the man on the look-out was singing -out, - -"All clear ahead!" and the skipper was singing out, - -"Keep her as she goes!" and the man at the wheel was singing out, - -"Aye, aye, sir! as she goes it is." - -We went down the next day, but saw nothing of her, though we went ever -so far along the river. - -She may now be on the high seas, with a skipper shouting all the time, - -"Keep her as she goes, and for the Spanish Main." - - And let no landsman doubt it, - She was a gallant ship; - And her Cap. (brave man) throughout it - Kept a stiff upper lip. - - - - -THE "PASEAR" - - -The "Pasear" was a top-sail schooner, and could not she just travel when -the wind was in the proper quarter! She was built out of a bright green -cardboard tie box, with a lid, and stones inside to ballast her. - -On her fine, long voyage she passed all the dangers of the narrow -reaches of the river, and sailed out into the deep, clear channel before -the wind; and she went so far and so fast that it took us all our time -to keep up with her, so we could not think of names for all the -headlands she passed--she went nearly a mile. - -Then "it was time for us to leave her," so we left her all snug and -comfortable in a little cove called Huckleberry Cove, after Finn. - -We could not get down to the river again for two days, and when we did -we could not find her for a long time, but at last we did find -her--under water--she had gone down in twenty fathoms, we could see her -quite clearly resting on the sandy bottom; she must have sprung a leak, -and her captain had not the sense to beach her, as he should have done. - -[Illustration] - - - - -THE "NEW CORINTHIAN" - - -She was the finest vessel we had in the fleet. - -She was built out of a toy lifeboat, with a lead keel fastened on, and -she had paper sails and a rudder. - -[Illustration] - -The "New Corinthian" sailed in the nicest way, but we were too proud of -her, after we had rigged her, to let her go down the big river, so we -sailed her on a small pond called Mystery Bay; we called it that name -because it looked so terribly deep, but was really only about three feet -deep. - -The "New Corinthian" did not have any adventurous voyages, but she had -as good a time as she could have, sailing round and round Mystery Bay. - -But it must have been pretty exciting on her when the tadpoles tried to -board her. - -But what we liked best was seeing the vessels of our fleet tearing and -gliding and shooting down the flood and through the currents of the Gara -river. - -[Illustration] - - -NOTICE TO MARINERS. - -Since the above was written, the owners have put a buoy in mid-stream, -between the Blackwall Hitch and Bully Bowline currents, and mariners -will keep a south-easterly course, leaving the buoy nine fathoms and -a-half on the starboard. - - - * * * * * - - - - -JACK YEATS'S CHAP BOOKS, _Printed for, and Sold by_ ELKIN MATHEWS, _in_ -Vigo Street, _nigh the_ Albany, London. _Sold also by the_ BOOKSELLERS -_in_ Town _and_ Country. - - * * * * * - -A BROADSHEET: - -For the Years 1902-3.

Stevenson comes seldom amiss, and now - especially, when the romancer's name and fame are as a shuttlecock - between wholly adoring and still discriminating friends, may be - considered apt and seasonable. So it won't hurt to read this: - - "There stands, I fancy, to this day (but now how fallen!) a certain - stationer's shop at a corner of the wide thoroughfare that joins - the city of my childhood with the sea. When upon any Saturday we - made a party to behold the ships, we passed that corner; and since - in those days I loved a ship as a man loves Burgundy or daybreak, - this of itself had been enough to hallow it. But there was more - than that. In that window, all the year round, there stood - displayed a theatre in working order, with a 'forest set,' 'a - combat,' and a few 'robbers carousing' in the slides; and below and - about--dearer tenfold to me!--the plays themselves, those budgets - of romance, lay tumbled, one upon another."--_A Penny Plain and - Twopence Coloured._ - - "Here, palpably, was a hint for somebody, who has turned out to be - Mr. Jack B. Yeats. The first of his 'plays in the old - manner'--'_James Flaunty; or, The Terror of the Western - Seas_'--lies before me, and it is a study in grotesque. The most - notable point in this production is the fact that the interest - thereof attaches not only to the dialogue--you will, however, - relish that--but to the setting, the close reproduction of - old-world lettering and art, which is a vast deal more than an - ordinary publisher's advertisement, and cunning enough to deceive - the very elect. The ferocious woodcuts, the jaunty humour of the - speeches, the fore-and-aft and down-the-hatchway plot, the bizarre - characters, harmonize perfectly, and well they may; for Mr. Yeats, - all by himself, has invented those same characters, contrived the - plot, fashioned the speeches, and designed the illustrations. - - "Debauched by sixpenny and even threepenny editions, some may rail - at this as a dear shilling's worth. (For superior copies the charge - is a crown.) For all such niggards this lean but precious - pamphlet--it is no more--will be caviare. But drat economy, say I, - when a paltry subscription will land you straight into the arms of - a real toy pirate. Never again will you have so good a chance of - seeing one, of hanging on his talk, of sympathising with his peril. - Never, I mean, apart from the present showmen, who, however, - promise yet better things. Stevenson, you mark, had two sources of - enjoyment--play and puppet-show--and Mr. Mathews announces his - intention of producing the plays, with scenes and characters, on - sheets, to be cut out and played on miniature stages. What _will_ - the next generation be like? Certes, 'tis a bold experiment, and, - to say the worst, a queer revival."--_Speaker, 1/2/02._ F. J. S. - - "At a time when the palmy days of the drama are a melancholy - remembrance, we welcome the publication of _James Flaunty; or, The - Terror of the Western Seas_, by Jack B. Yeats (Elkin Mathews), - which, in its awakening of romance, may be dimly associated with - the Celtic revival. The spirit of the publication may be indicated - by a quotation on the cover from Stevenson's 'A Penny Plain and - Twopence Coloured.' It is announced that copies of the play - coloured by the author may be had for five shillings, but it is - difficult to believe that colour can add materially to the - excellence of these designs. Still, a judicious use of crimson lake - ('Hark to the sound of it, reader,' as Stevenson says) might add - something to the glories of Captain Gig and the rest. We may - particularly commend the reticence of effect in the pictures, which - aim at no vulgarity of facetiousness, and there is an exquisite - moderation in the dialogue. 'It is intended later to produce the - plays with scenes and characters on sheets, to be cut out and - placed on miniature stages.' We should like to be there to - see."--_Manchester Guardian, 10/12/01._ - - - - -_One of Jack B. Yeats's Plays for the Miniature Stage_ - -1s. net; or, Coloured by the Author, 5s. net. - -[Illustration: THE SCOURGE OF THE GULPH] - - - "Mr. Jack B. Yeats's latest play for the miniature stage, _The - Scourge of the Gulph_ (Elkin Mathews, pp. 18, 1s. net), has the - same exalted qualities that endeared 'James Flaunty' and 'The - Treasure of the Garden' to the judicious. Blood runs gaily through - the lee scuppers, in accordance with the best precedents; but - plenty more of it is left to keep up the native hue of resolution - in the cheeks of the survivors. If Mr. Andrew Lang ever finds the - 'Odyssey' losing its power to affect the mind like ocean thundering - on a Western beach, he should try 'The Scourge of the Gulph.' There - is a delicious drawing by Mr. Jack Yeats on the back of the - cover."--_Manchester Guardian, 12/1/04._ - - - - -_One of Jack B.

Here we have no - mere jejune text, but also the characters and the scenery painted - unstintingly by the author, and all ready to be gummed on cardboard - and strut and fret their five minutes on the toy stage. As - Stevenson, were he now living, would probably cut his work in order - to produce this drama if it reached him in working hours, the rest - of us need take no shame to ourselves for the same inclination. For - about ten shillings--a stage costs five shillings--the least among - us may now explore the sensations of theatrical management--a - happiness for which far higher prices have been paid by many famous - lessees of Covent Garden and Drury Lane."--_Manchester Guardian, - 2/3/03._ - - "So many in these days are for reviving the romantic drama, for - bringing to life-- - - The mellow glory of the Attic stage, - - and for restoring the arts of acting and of speaking verse, that we - have come to regard the exposition of a new theory without emotion; - the advent of a new play without excitement. Our romantic - dramatists take themselves too seriously, and aim at expressing - rather the sorrows than the joys of life. Since the world has heard - the beauty of the muted string it has forgotten that life ever went - merrily to a pipe, or to the Arcadian, but penny, whistle. It has - forgotten the song, and the old tune, and the old story. It has - forgotten that the drama ever shook men's hearts, and has come to - prefer that it should help to digest men's dinners. We want-- - - The old laughter that had April in it. - - Now perhaps the chief reason for the dulness of modern plays is the - somewhat exclusive attitude of the playwright. His appeal is no - longer to the world. His appeal is to an audience. No breadth of - range, no scope, is allowed to him. He has lost touch with the - external forces of daily life. An introspective study, an allegory - of the state of his own mind, is the most we can look for from him. - - But in Mr. Jack B. Yeats we recognise the makings of a dramatist of - an older order; a writer of plays that are written in the intimate - speech of the folk-ballad. While his contemporaries argue, wrangle - and disagree as to what is music, and what is the best music, and - what music saves a man's soul, he, like the hero Finn, is content - with the best of all music-- - - The music of the thing that happens. - - His play of '_The Treasure of the Garden_' carries on a tradition - that shook the stage before playwrights became self-conscious and - before poets aimed to please the high foreheads in the stalls. - There is no mental dyspepsia in his characters. They present no - problem. Their aim is to be real. To be glad and sorry for a little - while on a miniature stage measuring a foot across."--_Academy, - 14/3/03._ - - -PUBLISHED AND SOLD BY - -ELKIN MATHEWS, VIGO STREET, LONDON. - - - * * * * * - - -[Illustration: _ELKIN MATHEWS_] - - - * * * * * - - - - -Transcriber's Notes: - - -Added table of contents. - -Underscores are used to represent _italics_. - -Converted asterisms to asterisks for text edition. - -Added missing open quote before "Debauched by sixpenny and even -threepenny editions" in James Flaunty advertisement.
