Bylander, obsolete form of Bilander.

The poor old bilander had made herself such a hole in the shingle that she rolled no more, but only lifted at the stern and groaned, as the quiet waves swept under her.

But the shot only threw up a long path of fountains, and the bilander ploughed on as merrily as before.

For this gallant lieutenant, slanting toward the bows of the flying bilander, which he had no hope of fore-reaching, trained his long swivel-gun upon her, and let go—or rather tried to let go—at her.

The bilander was a good sizable object, and not to hit her anywhere would be too bad.
