Roaring Fourties - Try the Southern Hemisphere - 40degrees South on the Clipper run to Australia, and back

BTW " Off the North Coast of Ireland, one Morning there was seen,
As plain as a Pike Staff, a German Submarine,
Maloney the Coast Gaurd, went off into a fit,
So said Paddy McGinty's Goat, it's up to me to do me bit.!

He jumped into the water, as frisky as a Whale<
And he swam up to that U-Boat, and he wagged his little tail,
Down went his horns, and he stuck them in that boat,
He sent those huns to Heligoland, did Paddy McGinty's Goat"

Provenance - I learn't this at my Grandmothers knee (and a County Cork girl were she - One Briget Murphy) amoungst other songs.

Date. 1916-1918 when those words were written.

There's another story there but that will wait for a suitable thread.
