When under the bow, cast off the fasts to the boat, heave up the anchor, cat and fish. Getting under Way from a Single Anchor. — It GETTING UNDER WAY. 87 is the duty of the chief mate to see all ready forward for getting under w r ay ; the rigging fair for making sail, the cat and fish tackles rove, and the fish-davit at hand. Heave short on your chain and pawl the windlass. Loose all the sails, if the wind is light, and sheet home and hoist up topsails, topgallant sails, and royals. If there i...s a stiff breeze, set topsails alone, whole or reefed. You should always, if it will answer, cast on the opposide side from your anchor ; that is, if you are riding by your starboard anchor, cast to port. Brace your head-yards aback and your after-yards full for the tack you mean to cast upon. The sails being set, man the windlass again, give her a sheer with the helm, and trip your anchor. The mate reports when it is away. As soon as it is away, hoist the jib. The fore- topsail aback will pay her head off.
