““Let fall—sheet home and hoist away the topsails—cheerly with the main, cheerly.” At the word, all the canvass, which heretofore had been concealed by being neatly folded on the yards, fell at the same instant into beautiful festoons, and the men briskly descended to the deck. The next moment the topsails were hoisting, and the fifes playing “The girls we left behind us," as the crew marched along the deck with the haulyards, keeping time to the music.

“Tramp the deck boys, tramp the deck," cried the second lieutenant in an encouraging tone, and the time was marked louder than ever.

“High enough with the mizen—belay the mizen topsail haulyards,” cried the fifth lieutenant. “Belay the mizen topsail haulyards,” echoed a midshipman in a youthful key, and the boatswain's mate piped, belay!

“Belay the fore-topsail haulyards—high enough with the main-belay the main topsail haulyards," succeeded pretty rapidly, attended by the same echoing and piping as before.

Again the capstan bars were placed, or rather "shipped,” and the order given to “heave round." The next moment, the “second” cried, “high enough.”

“Pall the capstan—unship the bars—forward to the cat—move, lads, move—” replied the “first” in the full tone of a manly voice, unaided by his trumpet. A few seconds only passed, and the anchor rested on the bows.”
