apeak

Never was sail made on the Osprey more quickly, and by the time that the anchor was apeak all the lower sails were set.

Apeak, when the cable is hove taut, so as to bring the vessel nearly over the anchor.

The men at once threw their oars “apeak,” as they say; that is, raised them straight up in the air, and waited for further orders.

Both parties appeared for some seconds as if spellbound, and the oars on both rafts were for a while held “apeak.”
