11*! explain " Csraeo's " vorseis. However, "?* «*en in part the execu-

tioner. I day in part, for you, sir, are mv assistant. You published the verses. Mv appetite was gone. I sent away my breakfast untouched. I trust you did the same Cameo points out by what he was tor tured most. The " blazing sun" is the first turn of the thumb-screw, and, under the infliction, he makes a natural allusion to his patron planet, the moon. He objects to the ocean "moaning," because " not a ripple's there. This is another turn, and " Cameo" is getting lively. Won't you allow me this poetic license 1 " Cameo", you are unkind ! He fairly howls when he comes to the sails flapping; When there's no breath of air " Cameo," I daresay, takes a trip on a Sun day with his wife.dr Sweetheart (if he has either) to the North Shore, for half-a crowu he can treat his companion to straw berries and cream, and a sea voyage, des canting the while on the terrors of the deep. It is not his fault if he forms erroneous ideas of the vast ocean. It is not his fault if he fancies that mid-ocean is ever like a mill-p on d It is ignorance on his part, and he ought to be pitied. He never saw the se a when there's not a breath of air stirring, nor a ripple on the water, trtit fit the same time a huge swell that rocks a vessel to1 and fro, and threatens to shake the masts out of her. If he had he would have known that the loose sails flap and chafe against the niasts and rigging, although there is no wind. Sails don't usually flap when there is wind : they are filled. I repeat it was not " Cameo's" fault. He was donbtless born here, and 1 earnestly wish he may live for many years to take hazardous ttipß to the North Shore in the ferry-boat. For the same reason I presume he never saw Mother Carey's chickens and other sea-fowl that fre quent mid-ocean. He has read of them in " Peter Parley's Tales" perhaps Another turn of the screw ! O! Mr Editor, what have you and Ito answer for ? Unwittingly tortured an ignoramus ! Don't you know, my dear " Cameo" that sea birds can only scree6h, aiid sereftm,- and shriek, and if they want to indulge in wails why the dickens can't you let them screech, and sdreatn, and shriek. You are not reasonable my good fellow. You expect more from the poor birds than they can possibly perform. They don't wail like human beings. If I wished to describe you, for instance, giving violent utterance to your grief I should say you were "braying funereal dirge, in wails," etc. I hope I have made my meaning clear now, " Cameo." Hallo ! here's another turn of the screw. "Cameo" cannot understand how the ship came to be a thousand leagues from the shore. The winds of heaven wafted her, dear " Cameo," and then she was becalmed. Head more carefully in future, my dear " Cameo," and don't make a fool of yourself. Ortho graphy is " Cameo's" next piece of agony. " Boreas !" One of your printers did that, Mr Editor, pnd I hold that printer respon sible. It was in my manuscript " worse than rude Boreas' breath, the apostrophe being placed after the s. " Cameo will acquit me of this piece of torture, I know, for he is kind, generous, and never indulges in personal inuendos I should like to know " Cameo," Mr Editor, "It passes on, suspected not." This gives "Cameo" offence. I am sorry fdr it. Let there be small-pox in Auckland. The seeds of the disease might be in " Cameo's" house, while " Cameo" thought his house free. He finds nothing else in particular tortures him, and so he execrates the whole. I will, however, not " waßte" any more good foolscap over him, save to recommend him to study the best poets. He will find there are worse specimens of rhyming than " roar" and " awe." He will find " home" and "come," "now" and "blow," Ac. "Cameo" hao no music in his soul, and I imagine when he writes verses he counts the feet on his fingers. I refer him to the Yankee who made a special trip to Britain for the purpose of asking Tennyson to write some verses as an advertisement for his lucifer matches. I am not ashamed of what I have written, nor would I fear to go through the ordeal of a public reading, as suggested by " Cameo." Surely all the audience wouldnot be ignorami. Let m"c inform * 'Cameo" I am neither Hibernian nor Cockney. Perhaps he will tell me whether he ever heard Bow Bells or no, and if he ever saw the smoke of London J He need not. I forgot the North Shore and the strawberries and cream. I fear, sir, lam taking up too much of your valuable space, but I must give "Cameo" his quantity, even if you charge me extra as advertise ment. Fairplay ! He had half |a column, and that's what stuns me. From being an obscure poet, scribbling rhymes for the amusement, not the torture, of others, I find myßelf suddenly a person of importance. The Daily Southern Cross devotes half a column entirely to me. Take off your hat to me, Mr Editor, when next you pass me in the street. '" Cameo " must have been hard up for a subject when he pitched upon poer me. What could be his motive ?Is he in favor of the way in which immigrants are now being sent out—every other vessel a floating hospital 1 Perhaps he approves of the importation of disease wholesale, and that is the reason why he attacked my poem, describing, though faintly, the horrors of sickness and death at sea. He displays his puerility when he accuses me of violating rules of syntax, etc. He is evidently affected by the grammar epidemic now raging. It is the final turn of the screw. In taking leave of « Cameo" I would tell him this. If my humble verses afford pleasure to a dozen people in Auckland I am satisfied, and^l care not a straw if they offend a hundred "Cameoß. Thanking you for the space you afford me, 1 anTsir, yours faithfully, L^celot Booth. Governor Browne Hotel, 22nd June.
