He gazed long and steadily, and there, very dim and low, but at the point he expected, burned a single light -- the anchor-light of the _Annie Mine_. ❋ Jack London (1896)

As soon as the anchor was let go, we got our head-sail in, ran in the bowsprit, and got our topmast on deck; the trysail was close-reefed, and the sheet trimmed amidships, the anchor-light hoisted well up on the fore-stay, and our preparations for the night were complete. ❋ Harry Collingwood (1886)

Our anchor-light was trimmed and lighted and hoisted up, and we went below to our tea, or _supper_, as sailors generally term it. ❋ Harry Collingwood (1886)

"Shall I hoist an anchor-light, sir, as soon as it's dark?" said the man, respectfully. ❋ George Manville Fenn (1870)
