How Britannia Came to Rule the Waves Updated to 1900 “The lugger, I think, sir,” whispered the middy. Hunting the Skipper The Cruise of the "Seafowl" Sloop There was a slight shock, and something grated along the lugger's side. Adventures in Many Lands Put the best Deal lugger that ever floated alongside the present Deal lifeboat, the Mary Somerville, in a furious sea of breakers on the Goodwin Sands, and the whole state of affairs is altered. Heroes of the Goodwin Sands A short discussion took place between De Vere and the master of the lugger. Won from the Waves The following year, however, being on a cruise off Havre-de-Grâce, he discovered a lugger in the outer road. How Britannia Came to Rule the Waves Updated to 1900 Roberts took another look at the lugger’s crew, and then shrugged his shoulders, just as the captain came on deck, followed by the American and the first lieutenant. Hunting the Skipper The Cruise of the "Seafowl" Sloop Shortly another light flashed right upon the lugger's bows. Adventures in Many Lands Deal beach was alive with the busy crowds of boatmen either launching or beaching their luggers. Heroes of the Goodwin Sands The second lieutenant, apparently considering that the lugger still had more hands than she required, now selected four additional men, who, evidently in a very sulky humour, obeyed his summons. Won from the Waves The galliasse was somewhat like the lugger or felucca of modern days. How Britannia Came to Rule the Waves Updated to 1900 “But of course this Huggins can’t be the man we saw in the lugger off the African river.” Hunting the Skipper The Cruise of the "Seafowl" Sloop The boat dropped astern, but the pilot nimbly boarded the lugger. Adventures in Many Lands The sea raised by an easterly gale on Deal beach is tremendous, and not even the first-class luggers, or their smaller sisters, the 'cats,' could be launched. Heroes of the Goodwin Sands The breeze freshening, Headland was unwilling to delay longer, and therefore hailing the lugger, gave her permission to continue on her course, when the corvette’s sails being filled, she once more stood down channel. Won from the Waves Softly as his whisper was uttered it was heard upon the lugger by the watchful smugglers. In the King's Name The Cruise of the "Kestrel" May, isn’t that the lugger the American planter was on when we brought her to?” Hunting the Skipper The Cruise of the "Seafowl" Sloop He and his mates had hauled in about half of one of their long nets, when a large lugger, they had not before seen, passed them, very nearly running them down. Tales of the Sea And of our Jack Tars Hence that evening no ordinary Deal boat or even lugger could launch. Heroes of the Goodwin Sands Miles Gaffin continued to make frequent voyages in the lugger, of which he was generally supposed to be the owner. Won from the Waves He was told that the capture of a lugger with some contraband cargo was nothing to the taking of the political emissaries. In the King's Name The Cruise of the "Kestrel" “You think that fellow with the lugger was the captain?” asked Murray. Hunting the Skipper The Cruise of the "Seafowl" Sloop The lugger then hoisted in the boat, and made sail to the southward. Tales of the Sea And of our Jack Tars None even of the luggers would encounter the risk of launching in so heavy a sea dead on the beach. Heroes of the Goodwin Sands Master Harry found out somehow or other that Miles had a lugger, and nothing would content him but that he must go off and take a cruise in her. Won from the Waves “Please your honour, we’d found tracks, as we thought, of the smugglers’ lugger, and then Mr Leigh lost us. In the King's Name The Cruise of the "Kestrel" But I don’t see him, nor any of the sharp-looking fellows who formed his lugger’s crew.” Hunting the Skipper The Cruise of the "Seafowl" Sloop We required arms and authority for boarding the lugger. Tales of the Sea And of our Jack Tars Then the galley punts had to come ashore, and only the luggers and the 'cats' were equal to cruising among the storm-tossed shipping, 'hovelling' or on the look-out for a job. Heroes of the Goodwin Sands Just then amidst the gloom he caught sight of another object at a little distance from the wreck: it was a lugger under close-reefed sails standing away on a wind towards the south. Won from the Waves We could take the lugger in the dark, and now we’ll have the rest of the gang and the cargo. In the King's Name The Cruise of the "Kestrel" “The skipper of the lugger, sir, who guided us up the African river.” Hunting the Skipper The Cruise of the "Seafowl" Sloop We were not likely to starve, even though we might have had a chase of many days before we should overtake the lugger. Tales of the Sea And of our Jack Tars Before this some Deal galley punts had also wisely made their way for the shore, and the lifeboat and the Champion lugger were left alone on the scene—than which nothing could now be wilder. Heroes of the Goodwin Sands As these thoughts passed through his mind, the lugger, which a keen eye like his alone could have discerned, disappeared in the darkness. Won from the Waves “Then I am obliged to have four or five men in the lugger.” In the King's Name The Cruise of the "Kestrel" “It’s the lugger we first came upon off that African river.” Hunting the Skipper The Cruise of the "Seafowl" Sloop If the calm continued, we should be nearly certain to come up with the lugger. Tales of the Sea And of our Jack Tars “Yes,” said the master of the lugger maliciously, “but he’s a beautiful swimmer.” A Terrible Coward A small boat lay there which he was able to launch by himself, and pulling off in her he went on board the lugger. Won from the Waves “Yes, sir; so under the circumstances I think it will be best to place the eight prisoners in the lugger’s boat, and send them ashore.” In the King's Name The Cruise of the "Kestrel" That was a lugger, and this is a lugger, and of course there is a certain amount of resemblance in the rig; but you are jumping at conclusions just because this is similar.” Hunting the Skipper The Cruise of the "Seafowl" Sloop We were anxious before daylight had gone to catch sight of the lugger, lest we might pass her during the night. Tales of the Sea And of our Jack Tars He could not break that which yielded on every side, but with fresh lengths coming over the lugger’s side to tangle him the more. A Terrible Coward “I remember you as a young midshipman, when I had the pleasure of offering to give you a cruise in my lugger, though for some reason or other you objected to accompany me.” Won from the Waves “Curse his impudence!” cried the lieutenant, as the men busily sponged out and began to reload Long Tom; for the lugger paid not the slightest heed to the summons, but sailed away. In the King's Name The Cruise of the "Kestrel" And the lad shouted— “Whose lugger is that?” Hunting the Skipper The Cruise of the "Seafowl" Sloop Numerous vessels were seen in the offing, but none of them like the lugger. Tales of the Sea And of our Jack Tars Once more on board our lugger, we zigzagged on our course, the men pulling with regular stroke, and though they row sturdily the boat is merely held, and drops down rather than advances. Lines in Pleasant Places Being the Aftermath of an Old Angler No sooner was he in the boat than the smugglers shoving off pulled towards the lugger, which lay in her usual berth about half-a-mile from the shore. Won from the Waves “Let’s have a look at her, Leigh,” he said, after a glance at a long, low, red-sailed lugger, about a couple of miles ahead, sailing fast in the light breeze. In the King's Name The Cruise of the "Kestrel" From the two boat-keepers; and one of these schooners our lads report as being commanded by that scoundrel who tricked us with his lugger. Hunting the Skipper The Cruise of the "Seafowl" Sloop “Yes, she’s a lugger, there’s no doubt about that,” remarked the lieutenant. Tales of the Sea And of our Jack Tars Though the lugger stood on bravely, we could see that she was being jammed down gradually towards the shore. Michael Penguyne Fisher Life on the Cornish Coast But they will not trouble themselves with the lugger, for they know she has no cargo on board.” Won from the Waves He took the spyglass, and, going forward, looked long and steadily at the lugger before saying a word. In the King's Name The Cruise of the "Kestrel" Could you come out of the mouth of the river where you went in, while the second cutter, which I sent up the river after you, came out at the same spot as the lugger? Hunting the Skipper The Cruise of the "Seafowl" Sloop There were several men we could see on the deck of the lugger. Tales of the Sea And of our Jack Tars If the lugger could do that she might then keep away. Michael Penguyne Fisher Life on the Cornish Coast “But if we can get on board her,” said Headland, “and send her in chase, she will have a better chance of overtaking the lugger than the fishing boat would have.” Won from the Waves “However do they manage to make those luggers sail so fast?” exclaimed the lieutenant impatiently. In the King's Name The Cruise of the "Kestrel" The lugger sailed out, and after a bit the second cutter sailed out and continued the pursuit—for I suppose it was a pursuit?” Hunting the Skipper The Cruise of the "Seafowl" Sloop A lugger with sweeps passed us not an hour ago, quite close. Tales of the Sea And of our Jack Tars There seemed a chance that the lugger might still scrape clear of the rocks; if not, in a few moments she must be dashed to pieces and every soul on board perish. Michael Penguyne Fisher Life on the Cornish Coast Still it became evident to Captain Headland that she was not likely to overhaul the lugger. Won from the Waves Then you wait till a small lugger comes creeping off slowly, as if it was going out for the night with the drift-nets. In the King's Name The Cruise of the "Kestrel" It was still uncertain whether the lugger which had brought up the breeze was a friend or an enemy. The Rival Crusoes The lugger had taken in her sweeps, having got well off from the land. Tales of the Sea And of our Jack Tars He frequently also had made trips in a smuggling lugger, of which his father was part owner, to the coast of France. Michael Penguyne Fisher Life on the Cornish Coast “I shall be glad to lay hands on the lugger, you may depend on that, for she has given me more trouble than any other craft on this coast,” he answered. Won from the Waves Meanwhile the lugger was ransacked from end to end, three more men being called from the cutter for the purpose. In the King's Name The Cruise of the "Kestrel" During the interval, the lugger had gained considerably on the cutter, but this enabled the latter to fire her stern chasers with more effect. The Rival Crusoes “We are betrayed,” shouted the captain of the lugger. Tales of the Sea And of our Jack Tars “At last the captain, taking his boy with him, went away in his lugger, the ‘Lively Nancy,’ over to France. Michael Penguyne Fisher Life on the Cornish Coast It would be better if some of your men would come on board, and if we can overtake the lugger, they will be able to identify the lad you are in search of.” Won from the Waves No answer was given, and as the boat reached the side of the cutter the sails of the lugger were being hoisted, and she began to move quickly through the water at once. In the King's Name The Cruise of the "Kestrel" The men worked vigorously, loading and firing almost as fast as the lugger’s crew did their long gun. The Rival Crusoes As the old Frenchman was clearly only a passenger, he was put on board the lugger we had previously boarded. Tales of the Sea And of our Jack Tars For that reason I would have given much to see the lugger escape, but it was not to be. Michael Penguyne Fisher Life on the Cornish Coast There was no time to consider the matter further, as not a moment was to be lost, or there would be no prospect of overtaking the lugger. Won from the Waves Nothing but a fishing lugger would be likely to be about, and no fishing lugger would have any reason for running ashore here. In the King's Name The Cruise of the "Kestrel" The firing was continued by both vessels as fast as the guns could be loaded, the lugger gradually gaining on the chase. The Rival Crusoes We carried the lugger in off the coastguard station, where more hands were put on board. Tales of the Sea And of our Jack Tars Instantly hoisting English colours, Harry boldly stood towards the lugger, followed by the merchant ship. Adrift in a Boat The cutter immediately kept away in the direction the lugger had last been seen, while the Nancy, hauling her wind, prepared to beat back to the shore. Won from the Waves And now, if you will take my advice, sir, you will draw off the men and secure the lugger. In the King's Name The Cruise of the "Kestrel" Four guns were simultaneously discharged, raking the lugger fore and aft. The Rival Crusoes By “six bells,” with a coasting flag at our peak, we were two miles at sea with our main-topsail aback, receiving six kegs of specie and several chests of clothing from a lugger. Captain Canot or, Twenty Years of an African Slaver The main-mast followed, and the lugger, being now reduced to an almost helpless condition, hauled down her colours. Adrift in a Boat The cutter had not returned, and Ned Brown again expressed his conviction that if the lugger was to be caught, it would not be till after a long chase. Won from the Waves He had made it a practice to cross the English Channel to Calais in a sailing lugger every Boxing Day—that is, the day after Christmas. A Labrador Doctor The Autobiography of Wilfred Thomason Grenfell He had, however, several duties to perform—to get rid of his prisoners, and to hand the lugger over to the prize agents. The Rival Crusoes He and Wilkinson had arrived at Deal at three o'clock that afternoon, and, after a hurried meal, had hired a lugger and started at once for Beachy Head. The Frozen Pirate Harry was right; the schooner carried up the breeze, and stood in between the two vessels before the lugger had time to fire a shot. Adrift in a Boat That was the mill where they kept me, and now they are going to take me aboard the lugger, and maybe heave me overboard when they get into deep water. Won from the Waves They have only luggers, however—at least so one of my partners told me last night. Patsy The instant the anchor was away the sails were sheeted home, and the lugger, casting, as desired, to port, stood off from the dangerous coast, close-hauled. The Rival Crusoes It was not so dark but that I could see the outline of a Deal lugger. The Frozen Pirate These were so well worked that after a few shots the lugger’s mizen-mast was knocked away. Adrift in a Boat “Yes, sir; not a faster out of the Tex, but I am afraid she has little chance of overhauling the lugger.” Won from the Waves The lugger sped through the water, and Stair Garland still sat dazed. Patsy He allowed the lugger, however, to stand further out, until she could heave to with safety, when he ordered the foresail to be backed. The Rival Crusoes I fancy the frigate must have altered her course more to the south," the captain said, "thinking that, as the lugger was up north, we should be likely to haul our wind in that direction. Held Fast For England A Tale of the Siege of Gibraltar (1779-83) The lugger is French, there is no doubt about that. Adrift in a Boat You, at all events, see, sir, that I am not on board the lugger, which I hear left the coast some hours ago. Won from the Waves "What, Jean, you are never going?" cried Stair, when he saw his sister preparing to accompany the Laird of Supsorrow into the lugger. Patsy The lugger was now about twenty fathoms off on the cutter’s quarter. The Rival Crusoes Then a French lugger, that would have been a good deal more than a match for her, at any time, came up. Held Fast For England A Tale of the Siege of Gibraltar (1779-83) He at once opened fire on the lugger, who made all sail to escape. Adrift in a Boat “I am sorry, young gentlemen, not to have had the pleasure of giving you a trip in my lugger,” said the miller, in a frank, off-hand tone. Won from the Waves A picture of a lugger is given on the next page. Man on the Ocean A Book about Boats and Ships The next instant the helm was again put up, or the lugger would have run into her stem on. The Rival Crusoes In half a minute, the lugger's foresail again rose; and she continued the chase, heading straight for the brig. Held Fast For England A Tale of the Siege of Gibraltar (1779-83) It was a fearful struggle in which the Deal lugger engaged that night. The Lifeboat “A lugger close-hauled standing across our course, sir.” Won from the Waves The small boy looked rather perplexed, and said that he couldn’t rightly remember the name of the street, but that the owner of the lugger “know’d it.” The Floating Light of the Goodwin Sands The whole crew on board the lugger could only just manage her sails, while that of the cutter were required to keep a watch on the prisoners. The Rival Crusoes Steadily the lugger came up, until she was little more than a quarter of a mile behind them. Held Fast For England A Tale of the Siege of Gibraltar (1779-83) Away went the lugger before the gale with just a corner of the foresail hoisted. The Lifeboat It was soon evident that the lugger was a fast craft. Won from the Waves Eight boatmen of Broadstairs were interested in a lugger—the Dreadnought—which had for years done good service on the Goodwins. Battles with the Sea The lugger had twice to shorten sail, or she would have run ahead. The Rival Crusoes The splinters flew from the lugger's foremast, in two places; but a cry of disappointment rose, as it was seen that it was practically uninjured. Held Fast For England A Tale of the Siege of Gibraltar (1779-83) Some of the stout-hearted boatmen of Deal also thought that something might be done, and launched their luggers, but were in some cases obliged to desist owing to the ever-increasing fury of the storm. The Lifeboat We thought at first that we should overhaul the lugger, as we had the breeze while she was becalmed. Won from the Waves In the meantime they lost their lugger off the coast of Normandy, and in this emergency the lawyers they had employed demanded their costs. Battles with the Sea At length, a shot aimed high by the lugger struck the cutter’s topmast. The Rival Crusoes He directed his glass towards the lugger, which was some five miles away. Held Fast For England A Tale of the Siege of Gibraltar (1779-83) Pilot luggers and other shore-boats of various kinds were moving about among these; some on the look-out for employment, others intent on doing a stroke of business in the smuggling way, if convenient. The Lifeboat Every sail the Thisbe could carry was set, while the lugger, spreading out her broad canvas, did her best to escape. Won from the Waves “Keep silence,” said Sir Robert, and nothing more was said until the lugger dashed into the cave. Snarley-yow or The Dog Fiend Although nearly twenty had been killed or wounded, they still far outnumbered the cutter’s crew, now reduced by three killed and five wounded, as well as by those sent on board the lugger. The Rival Crusoes No sign of the lugger was visible but, from the tops, the upper sails of the frigate could be seen, close under the land, away to the southeast. Held Fast For England A Tale of the Siege of Gibraltar (1779-83) Here Bax, who had been examining the lugger in question with a pocket-telescope, said that he had no doubt whatever Bluenose was right, and hastened forward at a smarter pace than before. The Lifeboat At length they got near enough to the lugger to send a shot from a bow-chaser as a signal to heave to. Won from the Waves We have said, that among those who were at the conference might be observed some persons who might be recognised as part of the crew of the lugger. Snarley-yow or The Dog Fiend The lugger was just then feeling the breeze, and forging ahead. The Rival Crusoes Yes, we have more canvas on her than the lugger carries and, if the breeze were lighter, should steal away from her. Held Fast For England A Tale of the Siege of Gibraltar (1779-83) I have sailed these waters in old Jeph’s lugger since I was a little boy.” The Lifeboat The order was given to trim sails, and the corvette was steered so as to cut off the lugger should she continue on her present course. Won from the Waves The tramp of the soldiers’ feet was scarcely over when the lugger was alongside of us, her masts banging against our main and mizen chains as she rolled with the swell under our lee. Poor Jack He had been busily engaged in the lugger’s cabin, and was not aware of what had taken place until all was over. The Rival Crusoes All eyes were directed on the lugger, which the captain was watching through his glass. Held Fast For England A Tale of the Siege of Gibraltar (1779-83) A lugger could scarcely live in such a sea. The Lifeboat Though the lugger made good way, the loftier sails of the Thisbe carried her quickly through the water, and her commander and Harry hoped that she would deserve the character they first formed of her. Won from the Waves I crept out of the port into the chains and passed it round the lugger’s main-mast, as he told me, handing in the bight to him, which he belayed slack to the main-sheet kevel. Poor Jack Order was quickly restored, the lashings cast off, and the lugger’s crew returning to her, the two vessels pursued their course as before. The Rival Crusoes Two puffs of white smoke broke out from the lugger's bow. Held Fast For England A Tale of the Siege of Gibraltar (1779-83) When the lugger came towards them and anchored outside the Sands, it was so dark that none but sharp eyes could make her out through the blinding spray. The Lifeboat To avoid the risk of the broadside which might follow, the lugger came up into the wind. Won from the Waves “It is a Frenchman,” replied I, “and no mistake—every rope and every sail on her are French;” for the vessel, which was a lugger, was not more than four miles from us. Poor Jack So sudden and silent had been the rising, that they had only just before reached the scene of action when the lugger ran alongside. The Rival Crusoes Bob stood watching the lugger intently, and gave a shout as he saw the foresail run rapidly down. Held Fast For England A Tale of the Siege of Gibraltar (1779-83) You see, she’s the only craft bigger than a Deal lugger that I ever had command of. The Lifeboat Your friend, Mr Harry Castleton, will have a long chase after the lugger, a wild goose chase I suspect it will prove. Won from the Waves A prize-master with twenty men were put on board; the lugger was hauled off, the only Englishmen allowed to remain in the captured vessel being Bramble and myself. Poor Jack We shall then, I have no fear, lick the lugger, and carry her as a prize into Plymouth harbour.” The Rival Crusoes "Hurrah, lads!" and a cloud of white canvas fell over, to leeward of the lugger. Held Fast For England A Tale of the Siege of Gibraltar (1779-83) Again and again she was more than half-filled with water, but this was speedily got rid of, and in the course of an hour she was beside the lugger. The Lifeboat Mr Groocock began to suspect that he had been deceived in the matter on finding that Gaffin had sailed away in the lugger, and did not return for many weeks. Won from the Waves The frigate yawed a little—the smoke from her bow-chaser was followed by an instantaneous report, and the shot dashed into the water close under the stern of the lugger. The King's Own I shall trust them, at all events, and as soon as I can make out whether yonder lugger hails from Jersey or not, I will have them on deck and arm them.” The Rival Crusoes By five bells, the lugger was within a mile and a half. Held Fast For England A Tale of the Siege of Gibraltar (1779-83) All of a sudden another idea occurred to me,—if we got the watchword, could we not carry the lugger and all her senseless crew away together? Will Weatherhelm The Yarn of an Old Sailor The corvette, and several brigs and schooners, and three armed luggers, were soon seen either at anchor close to the beach or on shore. True Blue Fortune favoured McElvina; and the shades of night soon hid the lugger from the sight of her irritated and disappointed pursuers. The King's Own The two midshipmen, with pistols in their belts and cutlasses at their sides, stood watching the lugger, which under press of sail was coming up astern. The Rival Crusoes The lugger had managed to bring her head sufficiently up into the wind for her broadside guns to bear, and the shot came hurtling overhead. Held Fast For England A Tale of the Siege of Gibraltar (1779-83) However, she may be a Jersey or a Guernsey-man, they have many lugger privateers. Will Weatherhelm The Yarn of an Old Sailor Sir Henry begged that he might remain on board the lugger and share the risk with the rest, though it was not without considerable reluctance that Sir Sydney consented to leave him. True Blue Oh! what would I give to be flying before the breeze in the lugger with McElvina!” The King's Own The lugger now began to fire her long gun; the shot, though failing to strike, pitched sometimes on one side, sometimes on the other side of the cutter. The Rival Crusoes They could hear a faint cheer come across the water from the lugger. Held Fast For England A Tale of the Siege of Gibraltar (1779-83) While I was speaking, the square-headed sails of the lugger were run up on her short, stumpy masts. Will Weatherhelm The Yarn of an Old Sailor The lugger’s Captain, unwilling to be thus caught, hauled his tacks aboard, and made a gallant attempt to cross the bows of the brig. True Blue After an exchange of a dozen broadsides, McElvina shot the lugger ahead, and, tacking under his adversary’s bows, raked him a second time. The King's Own What effect their shot produced could not be seen, though Beal declared that one, if not both, struck the lugger. The Rival Crusoes |
