Man the lee forebraces. Now swing your fore-yard, board the fore and main-tacks, and haul aft the sheets. Any news of the anchor yet, Mr Chester?" "The stock has just hove in sight, sir!" "That's well, let us have it up, and get it catted at once, if you please."
Now swing your fore-yard, board the fore and main-tacks, and haul over the head-sheets.
"Fore and main-braces, lads; port your helm, my man," to the helmsman "and let her come up `full and by; round in upon the port-braces, fore and aft; board the fore and main-tacks; aft with the sheets, cheerily, my lads; if we are smart we may get out of gun-shot before they can repair that damage. Well there of all.
Her head-yards came furiously round, all the officers vanished from her taffrail, and down went both fore and main-tacks, and to the mast-head rose all three of her top-gallant-sails.
The fore and main-top-gallant sails were fluttering in the breeze at this very moment, it blew rather too fresh for the mizen, and then their bosoms were distended, and their bow-lines hauled. How the fore and main-tacks got aboard I could not tell, though it was done while my eyes were on the upper sails.
