ahoy

When the boat came alongside the ship, the crimp shouted: "Ahoy, Mr. Mate, I have a good sailor for you."

But there was no reply, and he tugged away till he was nearer, and then gave vent to a cheery “Ahoy!”

As for Grandfather Harling, after the stranger's first visit he strained his ears for a second, and when with a cheery "Ahoy!"

Another calls out the name of their particular log-mark: "Blaze Belt, ahoy!"
