"You have already learned the names of the three masts, and you can recognize them at a glance. The bowsprit was built into the Lily, and you know it in this ship (1)."
"But there are three sticks in the bowsprit of this ship, when the Lily has only one," suggested Benton Fillwing.
"We could add two more to the Lily if it were advisable. If we added one, it would be the jib-boom (2), which is the middle piece in the picture. The third spar is the flying jib-boom (3). The vertical piece of wood on the end of the bowsprit, through which the jib-boom passes, is called the cap. The stick which points down from the cap (10) is the martingale, or dolphin-striker."
"The sails on the bowsprit are the jibs, are they not?" asked a student who wanted to make a point.
