Run.

1. (Mining.) The direction or lead of a vein of ore, or a seam or stratum of other mineral, as of coal or marble.

2. (Founding.) A mold is said to run if the metal makes its way along the parting, or in any other way appears on the outside edges of the flask. It is avoided by weighting the flask.

3. A plank laid down to support rollers in moving buildings and other heavy objects. Also as a track for wheel barrows.

4. (Nautical.) a. The aftermost part of a ship's bottom, which becomes gradually narrower from the floor-timbers to the stern-post.

b. The course or distance sailed by a vessel.

c. To run out a warp, hawser, or cable is to carry out its end to any object, for the purpose of mooring, warping, etc.

To run out the guns. To force their muzzles out of the port by means of the side tackles.

To undcrrun a cable or hawser. To pass along it in a boat, the cable being lifted from the bottom at the bow of the boat and passed out over the stern as she proceeds, in order to examine it or for the purpose of weighing the anchor.
