It is then unsafe to be near the land as the gale that commences at North-North-East, invariably veers to the westward, making a lee shore of the whole line of coast, and between West-North-West and West-South-West blows the hardest.
Nor claims her honours, nor declines, As the light air of crowds uncertain veers. FRANCIS. Horace Odes, iii. 2. Sir Walter Scott, in a note to Redgauntlet, Letter 1, says: 'Sir John Nisbett of Dirleton's Doubts and Questions upon the Law especially of Scotland, and Sir James Stewart's Dirleton's Doubts and Questions resolved and answered, are works of authority in Scottish jurisprudence.
Now she feels the urge of the flood, and yields herself to it, already dwindled to half her size. The pilot turns his wheel he looks very big and quiet and masterful up there. The boat veers round; bells jangle. And now the engine wakens in earnest. She breathes with spurts of vapor! Breathed?
We came over some undulations during the early part of the march, but the last part appeared quite flat. I think I remember observing the same fact on our former trip. The wind veers and backs from S. to W. and even to N., coming in gusts.

High and alone in the clear blue air it swung, an endless warning to him that veers with the wind of the world, the words of men, the summer breezes of their praise, or the bitter blasts of their wintry blame; it was no longer to him a cock of the winds, but a cock of the truth a Peter-cock, that crew aloud in golden shine its rebuke of cowardice and lying.
Out to the west in long, gradual curve the southward range veers around and spans the horizon.
They are all sleepy, but the business on hand will soon cure them of this. They stand by. The helm is put down, and quickly the Chrysolite veers round in process of reaching the other tack. Will she do it? No! She trembles almost in the teeth of the wind, misses stays, and falls off again on to the old tack.
"I swan, but you're right there, Jack which looks kinder like he didn't mean to strike out for Miami, don't it?" "More than likely he's hitting out for Cuba, or if he veers to the west, it's Mexico or Honduras he means to head for." Perk heaved a big sigh of relief.
