I seem to recall that one apprentice went ashore one Saturday afternoon with a killick he knew. |
When we got round the horn my boys, we had some glorious days. And very soon our killick dropped in Valparaiso bay. |
On the right, a killick, or home-made anchor using a specially selected killick-stone wedged into a natural-grown tree fork. |
The defining feature of a killick is that you cannot not trip over it. |
Think becos you've got a killick on yer arm yer can do wot yer likes, I suppose! |
Anchor and killick went down, JOLLY ROSE swung to, and he fastened everything snug and tight. |
