THUS!
THUS! the order by which the pilot directs the helmsman to keep the ship in her present situation when sailing with a scant wind; so that she may not approach too near the direction of the wind, and thereby shiver her sails, nor fall to leeward, and run further out of her course. See. STEERING.
