LARGE
LARGE, a phrase applied to understand this more clearly, let us suppose a ship steering west; then the wind, in any point of the compass to the eastward of the south or north, may be called large, unless indeed when it is directly east, and then it is said to be right aft.the wind, when it crosses the line of a ship's course in a favourable direction, particularly on the beam or quarter. ToLEE-LARCHES
LEE-LARCHES, the sudden and violent rolls which a ship often takes to the leeward in a high sea, particularly when a large wave strikes her on the weather- side.
