kelson

/ ˈkɛlsən /

noun

Nothing has made so great a noise as one Kelson's chariot, that cost nine hundred and thirty pounds, the finest was ever seen.

The two midshipmen, with Kelson and several of the crew, hurried to carry out the order.

Another shout from Kelson a few minutes afterwards roused us all still more.

We were one after the other hoisted on deck, for even Kelson could scarcely get up without help.

After this I turned round and crawled to the other end along the kelson, but was stopped by a strong bulkhead.
