All this, according to the journalist, is "cast" when a ship arriving at an anchorage is brought up.
"Men of the Wanderer and Sea-mew , your officers agree tocast lots.
From the mast of the unfortunate vessel was seen a signal, "Water, water; we die of thirst!" The answer from the friendly vessel at once came back, "Cast down your bucket where you are." A second time the signal, "Water, water; send us water!" ran up from the distressed vessel, and was answered, "Cast down your bucket where you are." And a third and fourth signal for water was answered, "Cast down your bucket where you are." The captain of the distressed vessel, at last heading the injunction,cast down his bucket, and it came up full of fresh, sparkling water from the mouth of the Amazon River.
The season for the Line at length drew near; and every day when Ahab, coming from his cabin,cast his eyes aloft, the vigilant helmsman would ostentatiously handle his spokes, and the eager mariners quickly run to the braces, and would stand there with all their eyes centrally fixed on the nailed doubloon; impatient for the order to point the ship's prow for the equator.
"A shot of 108 inches in diameter, and twelve inches in thickness, would weigh, in cast-iron, 67,440 pounds;cast in aluminum, its weight will be reduced to 19,250 pounds."

The Recherche, after touching at several points in the Pacific,cast anchor before Vanikoro, 7th July, 1827, in that same harbour of Vanou where the Nautilus was at this time.
Should they then abandon their horses,cast themselves loose in fragile barks upon this wild, doubtful, and unknown river; or should they continue their more toilsome and tedious, but perhaps more certain wayfaring by land?
Though the woman seemed wholly occupied with the little girl of nine or ten years of age, whose long black hair she amused herself by handling, she lost not a single glance of those her companioncast on her.
When, still a little fellow, he had dragged himself tortuously and by jerks beneath the shadows of its vaults, he seemed, with his human face and his bestial limbs, the natural reptile of that humid and sombre pavement, upon which the shadow of the Romanesque capitalscast so many strange forms.
Then the youth put forth all his strength and gave a sudden trip with his heel and acast over his right hip, and down stout William went, with a sickening thud, and lay as though he would never move hand nor foot again.
