From Sea to Sea; Or, Clint Webb's Cruise on the Windjammer

by W. Bert Foster

Overview

The after port anchor had come inboard before I stepped over the rail of the Gullwing, and leaped to the deck. The starboard and port bowers were both catted and fished and the stay-fore-sail had filled to pay off her head.

The wind was blowing directly on shore; the current ran parallel with the land; there was no choice of direction in getting the big four-master under weigh, and she was headed into the stream.

A clarion voice shouted from the poop:

"Haul main-tack!

"Come aft with that sheet!

"Set jib and spanker! Look alive there!

"Mr. Gates! see if you can't get some action out of your watch!"

"Aye, aye, sir!" from the mate.

"Helm a-lee! hard a-lee!"
