Had there been a trysail on board I should have set it.

Put the last reef in the trysail before you hoist it.

Everything was taken in with the exception of a main-topsail and storm trysail.

Get the trysail aft and bent, and lower down the gaff.

One end of which was secured by a bight of the trysail brailing.

Now, lads, lower away the trysail as fast as you can.

Except a closely reefed fore-topsail and mizzen-trysail, not a sail remained.

Then we will prepare for the worst, Watkins; get the trysail up on deck.

The trysail was hoisted and sheeted home, and the Seabird was under way again.

The trysail gaff had parted, and, falling, had struck the old pilot to the deck.

Rousing up the Frenchmen to lend a hand, we got a main-trysail and fore-staysail hoisted.

Thus, the only bit of canvas left on her was the storm trysail on the mizzen.

He took in royals and topgallant sails, furled the courses, trysail and jib, and double-reefed the topsails.

The main-trysail was hoisted as successfully.

Ten minutes' work and it was securely fastened and its cover on; two reefs were put in the trysail.

We took in the foresail, mainsail, and inner jib, and had now only the topsail and a storm-trysail left.
