And talking of “caulking,”
And “quarter-deck walking,”
“Fore and aft,”
And “abaft,”
“Hookers,” “barkeys,” and “craft,”
(At which Mr. Poole has so wickedly laught);
Of “binnacles,” “bilboes,” the boom called the “spanker,”
The best “bower cable,” the “jib,” and “sheet anchor;”
Of “lower-deck guns,” and of “broadsides and chases;”
Of “taff-rails” and “top-sails,” and “splicing main braces,”
