Hi, Gibb.

Jack London, “An Odyssey of the North” (1899):

“[He] swayed back, with a hitch to his skin trousers, and began to sing a chanty, such as men lift when they swing around the capstan circle, and the sea snorts in their ears:

                Yan-kee ship come down the ri-ib-er
                       Pull ! my bully boys ! Pull !
                D’yeh want – to know de captain ru-uns her ?
                       Pull ! my bully boys ! Pull !
                Jon-a-than Jones ob South Caho-li-in-a
                       Pull ! my bully —— ”

(London, a skilled sailor, should have known you don't "pull" while "swinging around the capstan circle. but, hey, it's just a story!)
