“As a matter of course the frigates had anchored, although we omitted to mention it, and when Lord Edgar and Harold stepped on deck they heard the orders given to turn the hands upweigh anchor-pass the messenger below-ship the bars there, bear a hand-the men leant with all their weight on the capstan bars, and stepped out cheerily to fife and drum; very soon the frigate rode, short stay-peak; loose sails, and the sails are loosened as if by magic, but not let fall.” [Harold Overdon, Ashore and Afloat, Vol.6, Chartley Castle (pseud.) 1862]
