If is generally allowed that taking in a jib is the most tozardotts sail on board ship to furl, and r tnnCs out of number have seamen bean lost frOm thebpom while carrying out the order, , but in! only isolated cases is the above precaution taken. It is thought by many t6 be . unsightly aqd cumbersome, but there is at present a crack tr. der in Sydney—the Rifle.m m—provided with nettings, and her head , gear is the reverse of unsightly ; but where valuable lives arc at stake appearances ought -'to give way. \ r ■ .
