With sails patterned on these half dozen
designs are dressed the sailing craft of the
maritime nations; and, until lately, one and
all have agreed that the square or snip
rig Is the most practical and economical
for large craft.
For centuries the ship was three-mas.ed.
but modern experiment has added an oc-
casionaI fourth maSt-square or fore ard
aft rugged; and this she may carry without
losing her character. though the appella-
ton "shipentine'' has been suggested for
her when the fourth mast is fitted with
fore-and-aft, or schooner, canvas. But no
new name has been invented for the full
square-rgged four-master; she is still a
ship, like her three-masted sister.
Lore of the Mast.
The masts, named with regard to their
place, are the foremast, mainmast and m:z-
Zenmast; when a fourth is added it is tie
jiggermast. Each square-rigged mast is
divided into three sections, one above al
other, called lowermast, topmast and top
gallant mast-the latter extending upward
as a royal mast, and in large ships farther
up still as a skysail mast. The schooner
rugged jiggermast is in two parts-lower
and topmast. Yards, sails and ropes, with
a few exceptions, take their names from
the masts or stays to which they belong.
The spanker-the small fore-and-aft sail on
the mizzenmast-is an exception. and the
lower square sail on the same mast Is an
other: 1t is called the cro'-jack, and these
two names antedate nautical history. Old
prints picture the two sails In one, as an
immense lateen; and. though there may be
a missing link, the modern cro'-jack and
spanker are no doubt variations from this
original type. each retaining some charac-
teristic Of the parent.
