ENTREPAS

Volume 4 · 131 words · 1778 Edition

in the manege, a broken pace or going, that is neither walk nor trot, but has somewhat of an amble.

This is a pace or gait of such horses as have no reins or hack, and go upon their shoulders; or, of such as are spoiled in their limbs.

Entrap-Ladders, in a ship, are of two sorts; one used by the vessel's sides, in a harbour, or in fair weather, for persons to go in and out of the ship: the other is made of ropes, with small slaves for steps; and is hung out of the gallery to enter into the boat, or to come aboard the ship, when the sea runs so high that they dare not bring the boat to the ship's side for fear of flaving it.
