"Yes, that'll do; only keep clear of the girt-lines, you're too stiff for that." "No, that would not exactly tell; I shall pick my own work, and that's where I can bring my tarry trousers to an anchor mousing the mainstay, or puddening the anchor, with the best of any. Dick, lend us a bit of 'baccy." Short pulled out his box without saying a word.

Some got girt-lines up for riding down the stays and back-stays, and others tarred the shrouds, lifts, &c., laying out on the yards, and coming down the rigging. We overhauled our bags, and took out our old tarry trousers and frocks, which we had used when we tarred down before, and were all at work in the rigging by sunrise.

If she be already masted and alongside the hulk, and the ballast in, the officer will most likely wish to make some show in the way of rigging for as yet the masts are naked to the girt-lines, or single ropes rove through blocks at the mast-head, by which first the men and then the shrouds are drawn up, and the eyes of the rigging placed over the mast-heads.

Johnston's proclivity to get "wrought up," he had proved himself an excellent man of business by the way he had conducted our affairs ashore when once he put his hand to them; and we, too, had accomplished much, both in getting out the cargo and in putting the ship in repair. We had stripped her to her girt-lines, calked her, decks and all, from her hold up, and painted her inside and out.
