We were taken possession of by the Gros Souris, a Spanish zebec with a long eighteen-pounder and seventy-five men. The other vessels were a three-masted zebec with an English sloop which she had captured and a schooner.

If so be that a well-built church is wanting, old England, after all, is the country to go to after your models and fashion pieces.
You know well enough if you talk to a sailor about a ship he'd suppose you meant a full-rigged three-masted vessel." "Yes, of course, uncle. And a barque is a three-master with a mizzen fore-and-aft rigged." "That's better, my lad. But what do you mean by fore-and-aft rigged?" "Well, like a schooner, uncle." "Good boy!
