  • Turn the hands up, Mr. Griffith, and pack on the ship from her trucks to her lower studdingsail-booms.

    The Pilot James Fenimore Cooper 1820

  • The yards were trimmed very nearly square, then came an order to loose, sheet home, and hoist away the topgallantsails and royals; next the men who had gone aloft to loose those sails were ordered to rig out the port studdingsail-booms and to set the royal and topgallant studdingsails on their way down; and finally the topmast and lower studdingsails were set, and the _Zenobia_ went rolling and wallowing away to the westward under every rag that could be packed upon her.

    Turned Adrift Harry Collingwood 1886
