widely. 1t may be making or shorten

bracing up the yards, tacking or wear
ing ship. and, no matter what the Ia
Dor, one always had the satisfaction Of
seeing the result. The speed and sail
ing qualities Of q vessel were things
that could be discussed with interest
as we'll as the length Of passage. In

high and cursing was considered quite
in order, struggling up aloft with wet
or frozen canvas-one hand for the

tie, and should the foresail be handed
or the main tGDsail settled and the cry

experienced them. Being becalmed IN
