1890            Bassett, F.S. "Songs of the Sea." _Brainard's Musical World_ [Chicago] 27(313) (January 1890): 7-8.

Nothing too interesting here, though I consider any 19th century article of chanties to be of some notability. Each contributes in some way to broadening the audience and solidifying standardized print knowledge.

So this one is basically whipped up based in L.A. Smith's _The Music of the Waters_ (1888). I see no unique info. On the other hand, the author tweaks some lyrics here and there. For instance, "I am bound to the Rio Grande" becomes "I am off to Rio Grande." And "Slapandergosheka" becomes "Slopandergosha." However, despite such differences, and in light of several mistakes, it is absolutely clear to me that this knowledge is derived from Smith's text. There is no evidence that the author had his/her own direct knowledge of chanties.

Notable is the tweak of the text for "Lowlands", wherein Smith's "Lowlands a-ray" has become here "Lowlands away." I believe in this case that this was a rationalization, not a correction.
