Halyard • \HAL-yerd\ • Noun - A rope used to raise or lower
something such as a sail or flag.

of the tramp steamer “Greasy Getaway” had ordered him to spell out the opening
lines of “Moby Dick” using signal flags for the rest of the rusty flotilla of
ships. The squeaking of the tackle as the halyard was pulled up and down was
almost as excruciating as the aches in Ben’s shoulders.
