Explanation:

Brooks´story describes Lively Polly´s trip from Bolinas Bay to San Francisco, which usually takes between five and six hours with wind and tide favor. In this case, the cargo included firewood as well as butter and eggs. Since these last two items are perishable, the trip should be short to be able to sell them before they get rotten.

bevy means a large group or thing of a certain kind.
