The Garnett.

Is a tackle, wherewith we hoyce in all Cask and goods, if they be not too heavy, as great Ordnance, &c. It hath a pen∣dant comes from the head of the maine-mast, with a block which is strongly seased to the maine-stay, just over the Hatch-way where we use to take in our goods and howld. In this block, they doe reele the runner, which hath a hooke at one end, within which we hitch the slings, and at the other, a double block, in which we reeve the fall of the runner, and so by that we hale, and hoyse in the goods; when it is not u∣sed, it is made fast along by the stay, at the bottom of the stay.
