abulge

1885, Alexander Stewart, ’Twixt Ben Nevis and Glencoe: The Natural History, Legends, and Folk-Lore of the West Highlands, Edinburgh: William Paterson, Chapter 46, p. 336, It was a bright afternoon, with just enough wind over the quarter to set our lugsail well abulge, and make our little “Penguin” dance merrily over the rippling wavelets.

One day that next spring, a long line of wagons jolted over the cartway north from Hadley. They were abulge with everything you could think of. I could see bedsteads and other furniture, rolls of bedding, pots, kettles with gallows crooks to hang them by in a fireplace.

1964, Clifford Lindsey Alderman, chapter 14, in The Vengeance of Abel Wright, Garden City, New York: Doubleday, page 186

Small white torpedoes, conical plastic cucumbers featureless and others quite convincing replicas of the real thing, flanged and veined and abulge.
