The mate took a look at the stranger through his glass. "A fine polacca brig, sir, as one can see with half an eye," he answered deliberately; "but more of her I cannot say, as she shows no colours. We must keep away a little though, sir, or we shall be right down upon her." "We should starboard the helm a point my lads," exclaimed the master.
But he had come back, as all his people had always said that he would! He had come back, there was the topsail-schooner that was bringing him home so swiftly now. Another hour and the schooner's name can be deciphered quite easily L'Inconstant, and that of the polacca Le Saint-Esprit .
At present, however, Sichomovi, the Hopi village built so close to Hano that one scarce knows where one ends and the other begins, makes excellent pottery as does the Hopi settlement at the foot of the hill, Polacca. Undoubtedly this comes from the Tewa influence and in some cases from actual Tewa families who have come to live in the new locality.
It's not the warfare I like best of the two." "Both good, Massa Easy; suppose you no steal board of polacca ship, you not see Missy Agnes." "Very true, Mesty. Bout ship, Mr Oxbelly." "Mr Oxbelly not good for boat service," observed Mesty, showing his teeth. It was dark before the Rebiera was anchored in the outer roads, a cable's length astern of the outermost American vessel.
Anyone with an eye for sea-going craft can distinguish that topsail-schooner there, well ahead of the rest of the tiny fleet, skimming the water with swift grace, and immediately behind her the three-masted polacca hm! have we not seen her in these waters before? and the two graceful feluccas whose lateen sails look so like the outspread wings of a bird!
The engravings on pp. 5, 11, 165, 197, and 227 sufficiently show the type of vessel that now again came into vogue, and which was known as a galleon, nave, polacca, tartana, barcone, caravel, caramuzel, &c., according to its size and country.
"Good day, Maxim. How long since you left Belogorsk?" "Not long, Peter. I came yesterday. I have a letter for you." "Where is it?" I cried, delighted. "Here," replied Maxim, putting his hand in his bosom. "I promised Polacca to try and give it to you." He gave me a folded paper, and set off on a gallop.
Our captain and the mariners set to work to pray to those accursed little images they call their saints, for a breeze; and, at last, it came; but to prove what sort of characters their saints are, at the same time appeared in the north east, a large polacca brig, of a very rakish look, stealing round the east end of the island.
Her reappearance as Linda, on July 7, 1849, was the occasion of a cordial and sympathetic reception on the part of a very brilliant and distinguished audience. The first notes of the "polacca" were sufficient to show that the great artist was in her true place again, and that the mature woman had lost but little of the artistic fascinations of the gifted girl.
Although the damage on deck was considerable, yet their first care was to get up a new topmast, and another jib-boom out, for both which purposes they fortunately had spare ones on board. Bowse had gone for a minute below, where Timmins speedily followed him. "A boat shoving off from the polacca brig, sir," said the mate.
