A while back someone posted a rather long poem about some guy who froze to death and was then cremated in the boiler of a derelict ship. I can't find it and can't remember the name. Can the original poster or anybody else help me please?

There was a fellow by the name of Robert W. Service who was a pretty decent poet.
he wrote a poem such as you mention. I think it is called---
The Cremation of Sam McGee.
I doubt he was the original poster here on rtf

HPL. Your question inspired me to do a little light reading by my favorite poet. Since I am at work and dont have any books I just looked it up on the internet and low and behold look what I found. Thanks you made my day!

The Ballad of Blasphemous Bill is pretty awesome as well
