| The three Spanish vessels had all been edging in towards shore, and the polacre anchored just before sunset. |
| She was astern just now, and she is abreast of the polacre now, as near as I can make out. |
| In fact the polacre seemed in danger of going down every moment. |
| The polacre herself is, as I see by her papers, only two years old, and seems a fine craft. |
| The polacre may be one thing, or another, but I should hardly think she has come across the Atlantic. |
| That big fellow has got twelve on a side, the polacre has eight, and the xebec six, so between them they have fifty-two guns. |
