Usage examples of "underweigh".
Next morning, the Greek, instead of getting the bark underweigh, as I expected him to do, came to me demanding more pay for his services and thinking, maybe, that I could not do without him, demanded, unless I chose to pay considerably in excess of his regular dues, to be put on shore.
To this cheerful tune we lent ear and, hastening to be underweigh, were soon clear of the port.
