The army and navy of America : containing a full view of the heroic adventures, battles, naval engagements, remarkable incidents ..from the period of the French and Indian wars to the close of the Mexican war ... . ^^. ?^, t WARLIKE OPERATIONS AT SEA. 95 former weather column, the van shortens sail, to give timefor the other columns to form; and the weather and centre Fiof. fill at the same time, to gain the wake of the van, when theytack in succession. See Fig. 25. To form the Orders of Sailing from the Line of Battle. We must now show how a fbet may be disposed in theprincipal orders of sailing from the line of battle; and here,as before, we have several varieties. L To form the first order of sailing from the line of battleon the same tack, all the ships are to bear away together asmany points as the chief commander may direct, keeping inthe line of bearing for the proper tack. The sternmost firstbears away, and the others follow in quick succession, toavoid running foul of each other. 2. If they are to form on the other tack, the leading shipbears away four points to leeward, and the rest follow in suc-cession. The sternmost ship having bore away, the wholehaul up, and will be in bearing for the line on the other tack. See Fig. 26. Ficr. 26.
