Tanımlar (İngilizce)

1. isim A type of revolver with an exceptionally long barrel.
2. isim Any, except the outermost, of the ropes extending down to the deck with which a square sail is rolled up to the yard.

   “The only sail that is wholly ours is the spanker. They control absolutely--sheets, halyards, clewlines, buntlines, braces, and down-hauls--every sail on the fore and main. We control the braces on the mizzen, although they control the canvas on the mizzen.”
