In the interest of literary origins the real history of Rudyard Kipling's ballad, "The Rhyme of the Three Captains" ought to be preserved. It is twenty-one years since the poem appeared, and fires which evoked it have long since died. The poem may be found in the "Collected Verse of Rudyard Kipling." The ballad appears to refer to an exploit of Paul Jones, when as a matter of truth it has to deal with a business experience of Kipling himself and in so far is "founded on fact," but facts are quite different from what, the casual reader would suspect.
