A very hollow grown Sea.

We make foul weather, look the Guns be all fast, come hand the Mizen. The Ship lies very broad off; it is better spooning before the Sea, than trying or hulling; go reefe the Fore-sail, and set him; hawl aft the Fore-sheet; The Helmne is hard a weather, mind at Helmne what is said to you carefully. The Ship wears bravely stu∣dy, she is before it, and the Sheets are afle and braces; belay the fore doon hall, that the Yard may not turn up; it is done. The Sail is split; go hawl down the Yeard, and get the Sail into the Ship, and unbind all things clear of it, and bring too the Fore-bonnet; make all clear, and hoise up the Fore-yard; hawl aft the Sheets, get aft on the Quarter-Deck, therefore Braces.

Starb••ard; hard up, right your Helmne Port. Port hard, more hands, he cannot put up the Helmne. A very fierce Storm. The Sea breaks strange and dangerous; stand by to hawl off above the Lennerd of the Whipstaff, and help the man at Helmne, and mind what is said to you. Shall we get down our Top-masts? No, let all stand; yet we may have occasion to spoon before the Sea with our Powles. As we mast, get down the Fore-yeard— She scuds before the Sea very well; the Top-mast being aloft the Ship is the holsomest, and maketh better way through the Sea, seeing we have Sea-Room. I would advise none in our condition to strike their Top-masts, before the Sea or under. Thus you see the Ship handled in fair weather and foul, by and learge. Now let us see how we can turn to windward.
