Otherwise, it is necessary to postulate two periods of imprisonment, for which there is no other evidence and which in any event seems unlikely; moreover, the ballad (cited in Note 3) mentions only two times of imprisonment in his career, and presuming another earlier in would make for a total of three

- Lever , Darcy . 1808 . The Young Sea Officers Sheet Anchor states that British men-of-war had two or three shots on their small bower anchors. Inasmuch as he puts only one on those of British East Indiamen and, as will be seen, there was substantial reason for only having one, the difference must be ascribed to something peculiar in the circumstances to which British men-of-war were subjected. Perhaps this may have been that when he wrote the British Navy was blockading an enemy coast where a ship might be compelled to moor in a completely exposed position, and to the circumstance that gales on the coast of Europe usually commence at south-west and shift to northwest: hence a ship in such a position must have a clear hawse in both directions. This could be accomplished by first mooring with more cable veered on the port than on the starboard anchor, head S.W. and after the shift come veering cable on the starboard anchor. This would require as much cable on one as the other anchor.Of course there were always variations. Murphy, Nautical Routine, 1849, says that the U.S. frigate Boston (about 1800) was unusual in having the bitter ends of both her bower cables spliced together with the bight passing abaft the mainmast. He does not say for what purpose. If it were to permit varying at pleasure the amount veered on either anchor without splicing, the necessity of dragging out the fakes from beneath the coil of one cable would seem to be a grave draw-back
- 1828 . Rigging and Seamanship , 1794 Steel, said cables were not crossed in the Royal Navy, and Costé, Manuel du Gréement, said the same about the French Navy. They are contradicted by many others, and crossing seems to have been very universal—it gave a less constrained lead out of the tier
- 1791 . Traité Pratique de Gréement Some old seamanship books say roundly that the best bower was stowed on one bow or the other, probably having some particular port in mind but neglecting to apprise the reader of it. Thus Lescallier, who I suspect was thinking of Brest, says the best bower was carried on the starboard bow. He is evidently wrong in saying that (for a vessel anchoring in Brest) the sheet anchor was carried on the starboard side, for the result would have been, according to his own enumeration of the cables on each anchor, to have five shot coiled in the port tier and only one in the starboard
- If a ship had to unmoor by heaving up the best bower, the stream cable was spliced to the small bower cable so that two shots could be veered upon it
- 1808 . Seamanship Mooring swivels were sometimes used with hemp cables, and for the very ingenious way they were applied without severing the cables, see Gower
