Hammock Rail

As the beautiful craft swept gracefully yet with a rush up into the wind, a figure that I recognised with delight as that of Young, our beloved first luff, sprang on to the hammock-rail with a speaking-trumpet in his hand.   ❋ Harry Collingwood (1886)

As she shaved past us, every man on deck jumped upon the hammock-rail and had his separate say to us -- whether it were a word of caution, of congratulation at our escape from being run down, or of objurgation, it was quite impossible to tell; but, from the threatening character of their actions, I judged it to be the latter.   ❋ Harry Collingwood (1886)

"And what business had he up on the hammock-rail?" roared the lieutenant as he climbed up there himself.   ❋ George Manville Fenn (1870)

The captain came out of his cabin soon after, with cocked hat and gold lace glistening, and away we went for the shore soon after; the last things I saw on the _Teaser_ being the two disconsolate faces of my messmates at the cabin window, and Ching perched up on the hammock-rail watching our departure.   ❋ George Manville Fenn (1870)

The fire of the praam had cut them up severely, and Captain Hawkins had been struck in the arm with a piece of the hammock-rail, which had been shot away shortly after I left.   ❋ Frederick Marryat (1820)

The first luff, who had been for some time meditatively pacing the weather side of the deck from the binnacle to the gangway, with his hands clasped behind his back and his glance directed alternately to the deck at his feet and to the swaying main-royal-mast-head, quickly awoke from his abstraction at the cry from the forecastle, and, springing lightly upon a carronade slide, with one hand grasping the inner edge of the hammock-rail, looked long and steadily in the direction indicated.   ❋ Harry Collingwood (1886)

"'What is she, Edwards?' said Buckner, as he quickly mounted the hammock-rail.   ❋ Harriet Elizabeth Prescott Spofford (1878)
