Add to ORKGjolly a[see 'poker', 'jolly poker' etc] Just as launching the boat was a joint effort, so was hauling her up at the end of the season. A rope was attached and the men gripping the rope and the sides of the boat pulled it up. Longers were placed underneath and acted as rollers reducing friction. The Johnny Poker song seemed to have a magic effect for it seemed the men poured forth extra strength. It went as follows: It's to my Johnny Poker We will start this heavy motor And it's to my Johnny Poker Haul .........boys, haul l l l. On the word _haul_ everybody pulled with all his might. Soon the boat was up out of harm's way and was 'shored up', that is it was propped up with sticks along each side.JH 11/73DNE-cit...
