Filling in, английский
The replacing a ship`s vacant planks opened for ventilation, when preparing her, from ordinary, for sea.
Fill, to, английский
To brace the yards so that the wind strikes the after side of the sails, and advances the ship in her course, after the sails had been shivering, or braced aback. a ship may be forced backward or forward, or made to remain in her place, with the same wind, by “backing, filling,” or shivering the sails. (see brace, back, and shiver.) colliers generally tide it, “backing and filling” down the thames until they gain the reaches, where there is room for tacking, or the wind is fair enough for them to lay their course.—an idle skulker, a fellow who loiters, trying to avoid being seen by the officer of the watch, is said to be “backing and filling;” otherwise, doing nothing creditably.
