set on deck

And now a thrill of joy electrified me, as I saw a light set on deck, which appeared to be stationary.

The watch was set on deck, and Somers went below to obtain his supper, for he felt the need of some rest and refreshment.

This done he went to the stern, tightened the rope, and found that if he swung off he would go into the sea with a splash, an act sufficiently noisy to arouse the watch presumably set on deck.

As soon as it was set on deck the duck shook its feathers, gave one defiant waggle of the tail, and paddled aft, remarking: "Quack! quack! qua-a-a-ck!"
