chialoup

noun

1. A type of sloop used in the East Indies.

   ““The preſident, becauſe we were in great want of water, wiſhed to approach the coaſt with the veſſel, and by force of the guns drive them away, and then to ſend the chaloup well manned and armed aſhore, to take water in ſpite of their teeth; but he was over-ruled by the plurality of voices.[…]””

   “Their High Mightinesses have also consented to the building of a new vessel instead of the wrecked chialoup “Elizabeth,” and the Commandement of Jaffnapatam has still not been provided with a new vessel in place of the chialoup of the same name which was put aside in 1730, although permission for its replacement had already been obtained then.”

   “The skipper of the chialoup was instructed to continue his voyage to Rammanacoil without delay, and to tranship the luggage there into the chialoup which was to be sent from Jaffnapatnam.”
