mizenmast

1 One of them had the initial P shining between the foremast and mainmast, and G between the main mast and mizenmast.

2 Technically speaking, the endangered vessel is not a ship, but a barque, as betokened by the fore-and-aft rig of her mizenmast.

3 An alarm was given that the mizenmast was on fire in the captain’s cabin, and as Rayner looked over the side, he could see the flames burst out of the lee ports.

4 Upon attempting to rake her opponent, the Mermaid's mizenmast unfortunately went by the board, so that she fell off, and the maintop-mast almost instantly followed.

5 The stranger, coming about, returned the fire; but as the shot flew from her guns down came her mizenmast, and she fell off before the wind.

6 The mainmast stood, but the mizenmast in an instant afterwards followed the foremast, preventing the crew from working the greater number of the guns.

7 As the boatswain had said, she was about half a mile distant from us, and her mizenmast was over the side, still fast to the hull by the rigging, which had not been cut away.

8 He then sent Ronald aft to ascertain the condition of the main and mizenmast, which he believed had been struck.

9 They first stuck up lighted candles circularly round the mizenmast, between decks, and within this circle admitted the prisoners one by one.

10 I’ve left about five fathoms of bare end for bending on; and I think you can’t do much better than take a turn with it round the mizenmast, under the spider-band.”

11 This was a fairly roomy and comfortable apartment, plainly but tastefully fitted up, with a mahogany table running lengthwise down the middle, through the centre of which the mizenmast passed down to the depths below.

12 The ship breached-to, and our mainmast and mizenmast went over the side.”

13 After blazing away some little time longer, down came her mizenmast; directly afterwards her wheel was shot away.

14 The foremast was then cut away, and the mizenmast was doomed to follow—but the axe and tomahawk, which had been carried forward, were lost, or washed away.

15 The foretopmast of the leading frigate was shot away, and the mizenmast of the one following was seen to go by the board.

16 Oswald gave the helm to two of the seamen, and with his knife cut adrift the axes, which were lashed round the mizenmast in painted canvas covers.

17 All the crew suffered the tortures of anxiety for half the day, but towards two o'clock these words were shouted from the top of the mizenmast: "Veer to the west, all steam on."

18 At half-past ten, her mizenmast was shot away, when the frigates changed their position, and attacked her on either quarter.

19 The mizenmast had gone by the board, and falling over the starboard side had carried all those upon it into the boiling ocean.

20 The mizenmast was on fire in the captain's cabin, and the flames were bursting from all the lee-ports.
