topgallant

1 The town is seemingly built on a well-drained swamp or marsh, and consequently lies very low, in fact, from our topgallant forecastle we could command a pretty general view of the whole of it.

2 He found her topgallant sails thrashing out like blinds from a window, for the topgallant sheets had carried away, while the foresail and fore-topmast-staysail were like to flap themselves to rags.

3 She looked up to see men perched along the yards, clinging to thin ropes in the blowing rain as they loosened the topgallants.

4 Lay aft here, some of you lads, and rouse out the stu’n’sail gear; the rest of you slip up aloft and cast loose the larboard fore-topmast and topgallant stu’n’sail boom, ready for rigging out.

5 The rest of the mutineers but one obeyed with alacrity, just as the man who remained, and who was standing on the topgallant foc'sle, gave a loud cry— "A boat is coming from the shore!"

6 The same thing occurred with the topgallant sails.

7 Like acrobats, the crew scurried up the masts to the upper topgallant sails that rose nearly 200 feet above us.

8 The reefs of the Alabama’s topsails were shaken out and preparations made to set the topgallant sails in case it should be necessary, and the cruiser ran down diagonally toward the stranger’s path.

9 Royal masts, and topgallant masts and yards had from the first been struck, top masts were housed,—still frantically onward flew the ship, scudding under bare poles.

10 "Sway away!" and the topgallant yards came safely down to the deck.

11 The lower, topmast, topgallant, and royal studding-sails were thrown out, and hand over hand she overhauled them.

12 McBain delighted to have them smart, and it was with surprising celerity that the topgallant masts were lowered, the hatches battened down, and the good ship prepared for any emergency.

13 The gentleman thus discourteously alluded to was Mr. Hamblin,who had climbed upon the topgallant forecastle for the purpose of obtaining a view of the region through which the vessel was passing.

14 She then ran up that “flaunting lie,” the “old flag,” and clewed up her topgallant sails, and hauled up her courses, and submitted to her fate, with such resignation as she might.

15 The engine was therefore permitted to remain inactive, but we furled all our light canvas, to save wear and tear, and hauled up our courses, leaving the ship under topsails, topgallant sails, and jib.

16 And then it was Nils Sturika went up the topgallant shrouds by his hands, with the flag in his teeth, and lashed it fast to the pole.

17 Get down topgallant masts, it will be a bit of exercise for the men; let us have all the steam we can command, and—” “Batten down, sir?”

18 I held on to my topgallant sails, though the masts buckled, and bent as though the sticks would go over the side.

19 But he must go aloft and lay out on the topgallant yard, high up in the darkness, where the masts are bending like willow wands.

20 In the midst of our apparent confusion, the yards of the Dolphin were quietly drawn forward to starboard, and the men and passengers stationed at the topgallant and royal halyards, and royal sheets.
