Howlsom.
We say a Ship is a Howlsom Ship in the sea when she will hull, trie and ride well at an Anchor, without rowleing or tum∣bling and labouring much in the sea: A long ship, which drawes much water will hull well, trie well, and ride well: If she draw much water, and be short, she may hull well, but neither trie nor ride well at an An∣chor: If she draw little water, and be long, she may ride well, and trie well, but not hull well; If she be short, and draw little water, she will neither hull, trie nor ride well, and therefore those are the most unhowlsome Ships. Note also that the howseing-in, or laying of the upper works of a ship, doe much ease, or wrong her in all these manner of workings; but howsoever the over-carveing of her, is bad for all, and makes her more laboursome then otherwise she would be.
