Fill away the head-yards, put your helm up, run up the flyin' jib, brail up the spanker check in the arter yards, and as she swung off he comes aft to the wheel where I was a-steerin', and says, 'Keep her east-sou'east, my man; giv' us a chew of terbacker. We soon had the muslin piled onto her ag'in, and sure enough, as old Wiggins had said, the sixteenth day out he walked the pierhead in Liverpool.
Jarrold did not appear made for mirth, and him she feared most of all; yes, even more than Brodie, whom she had seen do murder, and Benny who, she knew, had done murder. Brail and the Italian said little; they were men to follow where other men led.

Most of them fell short, but some struck the boat.
"Steady, and all's right; but we shall be met with the wind next reach, and had better brail up the mainsail." "Go, then, Tom, and help Jacob." Besides, the liver would be as black as the bends." "Clap the frying-pan down on deck, Tom, and brail the sail up with Jacob, there's a good boy. You can give it another shake or two afterwards.
