Mulford for you sail in only a half-jigger; but Capt. Budd always sailed in a full-jigger and his full-jiggered ship had just twelve masts, and, to prove it to you, I'll give you the names first then, there were the fore, main, and mizen masts "
"Was my uncle's vessel, The Rose In Bloom, then, very different from the Swash?" "Very different indeed, child! Why, The Rose In Bloom was a full-jiggered ship, and had twelve masts and this is only a half-jiggered brig, and has but two masts. See, you may count them one two!" Harry Mulford was coiling away a top-gallant-brace, directly in front of Mrs.
The fore, main and mizen top-gallant-masts make nine and the fore, main and mizen royals make just twelve. Oh, I'm never wrong in anything about a vessel, especially if she is a full-jiggered ship."
You are unfit to be a lubber, and would be log-booked for an or'nary by every gentleman on board ship. You, a full-jiggered sea-man! No, you are not even half-jiggered, sir; and I tell you so to your face." "Yes, and it is n't half that might be tould the likes of yees!" put in Biddy, as her mistress stopped to breathe.
I admit Harry Mulford is a respectable youth, and has respectable connections, and since you like one another, you may have him, with all my heart, as soon as he gets a full-jiggered ship, for I am resolved no niece of my poor dear husband's shall ever marry a mate, or a captain even, unless he has a full-jiggered ship under his feet. But do not talk nonsense with him.
