Sir, The annexed Definition of Nautical, Names, &c. will not, I dare say, to most of your readers, be uninteresting. The Starboard is the right side of the ship, as the lar-board is the left. The Parrel is a movable band-rope, used to fasten the yard to its respective mast. Backstays are long ropes, reaching from the right and left sides of the vessel to the mast heads.
On the lar-board side, a woman had covered a belaying-pin with a white cloth to make a neat desk of it, and was sitting on a little box, writing with the deliberation of a bookkeeper. Alongside the boat, close to me on the poop-deck, another girl, a fresh, well-grown country girl, was writing another letter on the bare deck.
