The cage begun t' sway sideways and then it let go o' the shore an' spun 'round once er twice an' sailed out 'n the deep water.

There was a light breeze blowin' offshore an' purty soon it was pitchin' like a ship in the sea.

But the two squirrels was very tired an' never woke up 'til sunrise.

They got a terrible scare when they see the water 'round 'em an' felt the motion o' the ship.

Both on 'em ran into the wire wheel an' that bore down the stern o' the ship so the under wires touched the water.
