This vessel had no license , and paid no duty , besides being engaged in smuggling goods on board other vessels trading on the coast , and belonging to the same owners in Oahu . Toward the middle of the week , the wind hauled to the southward , which brought us upon a taught bowline , made the ship meet , nearly head on , the heavy swell which rolled from that direction ; and there was something not at all encouraging in the manner in which she met it . I stood perfectly still , and my heart beat quick . We had a smacking breeze for several hours , and went along at a great rate , until night , when it died away , as usual , and the land-breeze set in , which brought us upon a taught bowline . Our lower masts being short , and our yards very square , the sail had a head of nearly fifty feet , and a short leach , made still shorter by the deep reef which was in it , which brought the clew away out on the quarters of the yard , and made a bunt nearly as square as the mizen royal-yard . At the end of twenty-four hours the pain went down , and I had a long sleep , which brought me back to my proper state ; yet my face was so swollen and tender , that I was obliged to keep to my berth for two or three days longer . Being so deep and heavy , she wanted the buoyancy which should have carried her over the seas , and she dropped heavily into them , the water washing over the decks ; and every now and then , when an unusually large sea met her fairly upon the bows , she struck it with a sound as dead and heavy as that with which a sledge-hammer falls upon the pile , and took the whole of it in upon the forecastle , and rising , carried it aft in the scuppers , washing the rigging off the pins , and carrying along with it everything which was loose on deck . Not a drop of anything had been given them during the whole time , ( though the captain , as on the night that I was on deck , had his coffee every four hours , ) except that the mate stole a potful of coffee for two men to drink behind the galley , while he kept a look-out for the captain .
