But as Vol. i. 2 "Beauty unadorned 's adorned the most," let us sketch her even as she is. Her long, low hull, rising forward in a graduated line--her light quarter, her sloping stern--her beautifully rounded bow, swelling from the surface, and gradually receding in the rise--together with her graceful sit upon the water, wou...
