During the incident when the "Julia Ann" was leaving Tahiti and being pursued by the flotilla of boats, Pond says:

"Twas marvellous what a smart, active crew the threatening crisis developed. They sprang up the rigging, lay out on the yards, sheeted home, with a "Yo, heave, O" and a will; and with the celerity of a man-of-war crew, the ship was covered with a cloud of canvas..."

This is the only place in Pond's memoirs in which he recounts the events of his four voyages to Sydney, as well as his earlier voyage to Valparaiso, where he mentions anything that sounds like it a shanty. But it may have been just a shout.
