[188 Captain SCHWANENBERG sailed in a half-decked sloop, the Utrennaja Saria_, from the Yenisej to Europe.— The Voyage of the Vega round Asia and Europe, Volume I and Volume II
An expedition to sail from the Ob to the Yenisej_--For this Behring ordered a double sloop, the Tobol_, 70 feet long, 15 feet broad, and 8 feet deep, to be built at Tobolsk.— The Voyage of the Vega round Asia and Europe, Volume I and Volume II
In letting out the cable by which the sloop was moored, I had increased the strain upon it.— Swept Out to Sea Clint Webb Among the Whalers
It might be supposed that my sloop was among the wreckage that would be cast ashore along our rocky coast, and my absence might not be connected with the disappearance of the sloop My mother and friends would not suspect the reason or cause for my absence.— Swept Out to Sea Clint Webb Among the Whalers
With a little canvas on her I believed the sloop could be wore 'round and headed into the wind before the waves sprang up.— Swept Out to Sea Clint Webb Among the Whalers
