| I stood holding by the tafferel an hour, gazing on it with a childish delight and wonder. |
| I stretched myself half over the tafferel, and looked for the schooner. |
| A small red square flag was hoisted on an ornamented staff at the tafferel, and many long spears bristled along the quarters. |
| She was very heavily rigged, with her main mast raking over the tafferel, and full of men. |
| At this time Sir Oliver was looking out close by the tafferel, with his trumpet in his hand. |
| The tafferel of the schooner actually came in sight, when a little swell passed over it, leaving it for an instant in the trough. |
