A Voyage round the World A book for boys However, he ordered the gig to be manned, and as soon as the corvette approached the anchorage, he pulled away for her.

A Voyage round the World A book for boys The corvette stood on till she came off the island, when the pinnace and barge, well fitted for the duties they were at once to engage in, were got out.

A Voyage round the World A book for boys The corvette, immediately weighing anchor, stood away close—hauled to the eastward, that she might on another tack fetch the spot where her search was to begin.

The Rival Crusoes It was high-tide, but we well knew that there was not water sufficient on the bar to allow the corvette to enter. Old Jack The young commander had not long served his time on board the corvette before he received his post rank. The Heir of Kilfinnan A Tale of the Shore and Ocean The guns were quickly mounted and run out, and a brisk fire kept up at the corvette. A Voyage round the World A book for boys The corvette made but a short stay, and again sailed for Saint Augustine’s Bay, at the southern end of Madagascar, which island was sighted in little more than a fortnight. The Three Commanders The corvette looked so powerful, that it seemed to him that a single broadside from her guns, would send the Nancy with all on board to the bottom. The Rival Crusoes In return, the corvette plied her fast and furiously with shot, which must have told pretty severely among her people on deck, though, of course, we could not see the damage which was done. Old Jack The corvette heeled over until her lee ports were in the water, still it was not a moment for shortening sail. The Heir of Kilfinnan A Tale of the Shore and Ocean Still, several of the shot which came from the corvette struck us, or went through our sails; but the damage was instantly repaired. A Voyage round the World A book for boys Leaving Saint Augustine’s Bay, the frigate and corvette sailed across the Mozambique Channel, and came to an anchor off the mouth of the Angoxa.

Captain Canot or, Twenty Years of an African Slaver But do you know, Jack, I’m more anxious about the corvette. Old Jack Besides the young ladies, several other persons on shore were watching the progress of the corvette, as she endeavoured to beat out of the bay. The Heir of Kilfinnan A Tale of the Shore and Ocean The schooner, therefore, stood steadily on, till she ran close down to the corvette. A Voyage round the World A book for boys The sun was by this time sinking behind the land; the crew pulled away with right good will towards the corvette, which could be seen at a distance of three miles or so. The Three Commanders The corvette was then full ten miles astern. Captain Canot or, Twenty Years of an African Slaver While we were thus talking, the corvette had drawn still nearer to the brig, and her shot began to tell with considerable effect. Old Jack The boats made the best of their way towards the corvette. The Heir of Kilfinnan A Tale of the Shore and Ocean He looked astern; the corvette was going along as fast as we were—perhaps faster. A Voyage round the World A book for boys The corvette and the steamer will in the meantime stand down the coast, and the dhows seeing us will hope to get to Zanzibar without interruption. The Three Commanders I drifted without a word or motion, and almost without breathing, until the corvette was perfectly obliterated against the hazy horizon. Captain Canot or, Twenty Years of an African Slaver Outside of it was the corvette, close-hauled with three reefs in her topsail, standing off-shore, and, as far as we could see, uninjured. Old Jack As it may be supposed, the young midshipmen were great favourites on board the corvette, and for some time they kept their crew amused as they had proposed. The Heir of Kilfinnan A Tale of the Shore and Ocean On we flew; the sails of the corvette grew darker and darker, till a thin small pyramid alone was seen rising against the sky in the far horizon. A Voyage round the World A book for boys The midshipmen of the corvette invited those of the brig to a dinner on board, and Tom Rogers, with several companions, arrived at the appointed hour.

That craft is the very rover which plundered this vessel, or exactly like her; and the ship is a British man-of-war corvette, which is in chase of her. Old Jack “Then that must be your ship,” said Lady Sophy, pointing to the corvette. The Heir of Kilfinnan A Tale of the Shore and Ocean This was all in favour of the schooner, which sailed in a light wind proportionably better than the corvette. A Voyage round the World A book for boys This necessary though unsatisfactory work being accomplished, the party returned on board, and the corvette and brig, having received the captured slaves, made sail for Zanzibar. The Three Commanders It was the Valkirien, a Danish corvette, running alongside the Forward, and making for the bank of Newfoundland. The English at the North Pole Part I of the Adventures of Captain Hatteras The rover hopes to get into port before the guns of the corvette can be brought to bear on her; and that’s just what I hope the rascal won’t be able to do.” Old Jack By winding his corvette, the Saratoga, about, so as to bring her unused guns to bear just when the fight seemed lost, he forced the formidable Confiance to strike her colors. Union and Democracy The corvette did the same, and both vessels were soon going along under a cloud of canvas. A Voyage round the World A book for boys The French lost one of their finest line-of-battle ships and a corvette, with nearly twenty smaller craft. The Three Commanders Not counting a few smaller ships, the French had four frigates, each armed with 44 guns, and two corvettes of 32 guns. The Birth of Yugoslavia, Volume 1 With this object in view, they made sail towards the corvette, which they took for a merchantman, and thus very nearly caught a Tartar. Old Jack The President then opened its batteries and in less than fifteen minutes had overpowered the British corvette. Union and Democracy As if by magic, the wide cloud of canvas which had lately towered above the deck of the corvette seemed dissolved in air.
