THE Mariner wants no Skill and wisdom to improve several Winds, and make them serviceable to his end; A bare side-wind, by his skill in shifting and managing the Sails, will serve his turn: He will not lose the advantage of one breath or gale that may be useful to him, I have many times wondered to see two Ships failing in a direct countermotion, by one and the same wind. Their skill and wisdom herein is admirable.
