1908, anonymous author, “As Off to the South'ard We Go (Anchor Song)”, in The Cruiser: A Quarterly Magazine of Cruising Tales and Adventures[1], page 366:
As Off to the South'ard We Go (Anchor Song) The wind is free, and we're bound for the sea, Heave away cheerily, ho, oh! The lasses are waving to you and me, As off to the South'ard we go-o, As off to the South'ard we go. Chorus Sing, my lads, cheerily, heave, my lads, cheerily, Heave away cheerily, ho, oh! For gold that we prize, and sunnier skies, Away to the South'ard we go.

11 MAKING THE MAINSAIL FAST NEAR CAPE HORN, SWAYING ON THE FOOTROPE 16th May 1929. "On the 29th day: 'The wind is south'ard with maddening cold from the frigid hell of Antarctica, but we go course; it is not strong, but there is a Cape Horn howl in it when she rolls to wind'ard.
