When a ship falls (whether under saile, or at Anchor) with her head, or with her sterne, deepe into the trough of the sea, we say she sends much, either a-sterne or a-head: The reason of sending with her head is, if she have a little bowe, not sufficient to beare her up, and a fat quarter to pitch her fore-ward: And so for her sending a-sterne, it is contrary, when she hath too lanck a quarter, and too full, or fatt a-bowe.
