Most are self explanatory. Sea-chest is a personal storage compartment. Captains cabin is where he sleeps and checks navigation charts. Deck rail stops folks from falling overboard. Kept on her course means holding a straight path to a destination. Wrongly set means that wind or water currents are not favorable for the course as set. Waterlogged derilict means an old abandoned vessel that has sat so long the wood has absorbed water. Abandoning ship means jump off fast! Clambered up the side means climbing the rope ladder to get aboard. Hoisted aboard is usually for cargo that is too heavy to be carried. Properly stowed is gear that won't shift during ship roll and bad weather. Hatch cover is a cover that must be secured for bad weather, and is watertight. Spirited away is normally either an abduction or a theft, but can also mean to leave stealthily, as in under fog conditions. At the heart of it could be a battle, or in midships, being the center of the vessel. Bows of a ship is a misnomer, as there is a bow and a stern, likely meaning the front and rear of the vessel. Left aboard is when everyone else gets shore leave, and you are stuck aboard! Hope this helps, and good luck!
