The vessel looked up to the gale in gallant style, and at length I was able to bring-to under my foresail.

At noon was again obliged to bring-to under the foresail, it blowing hard with a thick fog and squalls.

Therefore, if Lestock was to windward, as the charge read, it was his duty to bring-to first and at once.

To bring-to, (which see), and then to lay some sails aback, in order to keep the ship without movement ahead or astern.

What about the corn and sheep and beef those fellows are to bring to-morrow or next night?
