The two sailors below would heave ofl the load one sail at a time, adjust the rope strap around the middle of the rolled up sail, and attach the bight of the strap to a large hook dangling on the end of a hoisting rope let down froin above.
This rope, made of best manila one and a half inches thick, led over a sheave at the end of a beam projecting from the caves of the building. The rope then passed to a wooden capstan that was two stories high. The upper story of the capstan in the attic acte...d as a drum around which the rope wound. The lower part of the capstan in the story below contained the square holes for the capstan bars. These bars were the size of fence rails seven feet long.
At the call "H'ist away. " we boys delighted to tramp around the capstan, pushing on the bars with the sailmakers and sailors. When the sail was raised as high as the eaves, one man shifted to the opposite side of his capstan bar to hold the load. Then all the others took out their bars and went to the open doorway to pull in the sail.
