[Webster and Falconer are in favour of _way_. The latter says,
"The _way_ of a ship is the course or progress which she makes on
the water under sail. Thus, when she begins her motion, she is
said to be under way; and when that motion increases, she is said
to have fresh way through the water; whereas, _to weigh_ (_lever
l'ancre_, _appareiller_) is to heave up the anchor of a ship from
the ground, in order to prepare her for sailing."]
_The Pope's Eye._--Why is it that the piece of fat in the middle of a
leg of mutton is called the "Pope's eye?"
