From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 Spoom v. i.  Naut. To be driven steadily and swiftly, as before a strong wind; to be driven before the wind without any sail, or with only a part of the sails spread; to scud under bare poles. [Written also spoon.]
 When virtue spooms before a prosperous gale,
 My heaving wishes help to fill the sail.   --Dryden.
