When a fellow makes a bow, why he only comes up a little aft, and bowses on the fore-stay, and now and then you falls in with a chap that is stayed altogether too far for'ard, or who's got a list perhaps from having the shrouds set up too taut to port or to starboard." "That sounds reasonable," put in the quarter-gunner, gravely; "I've seen such droggers myself."
I was not aware it could be seen from deck?" "Nor can it, sir; but, by going up half-a-dozen ratlins we get a look at it. Captain Drinkwater bowses up his lights to the gaff-end, and I can see him always ten minutes sooner than any other ship in the fleet, under the same circumstances." "Drinkwater is a careful officer; do the bearings of his light alter enough to tell the course he is steering?"
Seems quite funny not to be chivvying round after the flat-sweepers." He resumed his seat. "Well, you'll find a few of the old lot here: there's the Skipper of course, and Double-O Gerrard d'you remember the A.P.? And little Pills: he's Staff Surgeon now, and no end of a nut...
