Ask the Old Fanner: We have a beautiful
large sketch of a schooner at sea, on which is
written "With a bone in her teeth and the
'.J, best girl on the towrope " What does this
mean’FJ, Spenser, lowa
"Bone in her teeth" refers to the white foam
under her bow, and the reference to the "best
girl" means homeward bound In short, she's
going home as fast as possible
