through the upper holes of the upper B's and then down to the 

< beam between the> steering posts<,> where they are made fast with the halyards.
14. Amidships the upper yard is lashed down to the lower yard.
15. Both upper and lower yards are in two pieces, scarfed and 

lashed amidships.
16. There is a brace from each upper yard<->arm, leading aft.
17. There are "stops" round <the> furled sail, to secure it.

 

                                        Differences in No.276.

 

3. The lower B's have only three holes aside.
5. The lower end of <the> fore-stay is broken away below the lower 

knot and there is no sign of <a> lashing round <the> bow.
6 ,/<& 10> & 14. Both yards are nearly straight and each is made in 

one piece.
7. The lifts of the lower yard are much thinner and only six 

aside.
8. The sheets have disappeared.
12. and 13. The halyards of the upper yard are thick and lifts 

thin, as was probably the case in reality.
12. The halyards are tied up under stern in a very curious 

fashion./<,> <and there is no cross-beam between the steering-posts.>
14. Any <ropes> lashings of the yards to the mast<,> which there may 

have been, have been carried away.
