He had seen sails there before, but they never grew any larger, and generally soon disappeared, for it would lengthen the course of any coasting-vessel to approach this shore. But the sail that Ralph saw now grew larger and larger, and, with the aid of his little spy-glass, it was not long before he made up his mind that it was coming toward him.
He had met some person whom he knew, and, to my terror and surprise, they were talking about me. Hidden behind the horse, I heard enough of their conversation to know that I had narrowly escaped discovery before I went on board the coasting-vessel. I had met at that time with another vagabond boy of my own age; we had quarreled and parted.
Nobody would have cause to come near the spot from either land or sea, and you might well leave your guano here for a year or more, and come back and find it." "No," said Captain Horn, "I can't trust to that. A coasting-vessel might put in here for water. Some of them may know that there is a stream here, and with this convenient pier, and a cargo ready to their hands, my guano would be in danger.

"'You see, she said, 'he is a thorough adventurer, and now all his adventures are over.
A coasting-vessel drawing five feet of water will anchor off Apalachee Bay in eight feet of water, at the commencement of a "norther," and in four or five hours, unless the crew put to sea, the vessel will be left upon the dry bottom of the Gulf.

My father was the owner of a small coasting-vessel, and of course was often away from home for weeks and sometimes for months together. A sister and myself were the only children; she was two years the oldest.
His parents always told him to get something out of her, either a package of brown sugar, or soap, or brandy, and sometimes even money. He brought her his clothes to mend, and she accepted the task gladly, because it meant another visit from him. In August, his father took him on a coasting-vessel. It was vacation time and the arrival of the children consoled Félicité.
In short, they can sail in every direction, except directly in the "teeth" of the wind. Some ships sail closer to the wind than others; their powers in this respect depending very much on the cut of their sails and the form of their hulls. The Lighter is a small, rough, clumsy species of coasting-vessel, usually of the sloop rig.
He was confused by hearing old Samuel Ebbitt state: "Uh-h-h-h back in 18 uh 1872 the vessel Prissie no, it was 1873; no, it must have been '72 " "It was 1872, father," said Mrs. Ebbitt. I was on a coasting-vessel, young man. But we didn't carry cattle." Mr.
