Now the anchor was fished up short.” [pg.4]

“September 2.–– We were awoke at four o'clock, A.M., “all hands aloft;” the wind dying away. Men all busy again weighing anchor, and singing as before, “Cheerly man O! cheerly man, cheerly man O, ye, O!” And now, at seven o'clock, we are cutting away before a brisk wind;....” [p.5]

“September 10.–– The sea very calm; and all the seamen busy weighing anchor, and making sail. No music now in “Cheerly man O!” most heartily sick of it.” [p.8]

“Two vessels are in sight. Every few minutes the sailors are in a bustle, singing as they reef, or unreef, the sails….” [p.28]
