As I understand it, a "Donkey Engine" was a small steam engine used during the latter days of sail,to assist with manual hauling and pulling jobs, the man whose job was to operate this engine was said to be "donkey riding" and was seen to be having an easy time whilst his shipmates still had to do the strenous manual tasks.
