man overboard
interjection man overboard !
- A cry used to announce that one of the crew or passengers has fallen over the side of the vessel. Hazel Strong was looking from her darkened port across the dark sea. Suddenly a body shot past her eyes from the deck above. It dropped so quickly into the dark waters below that she could not be sure of what it was—it might have been a man, she could not say. She listened for some outcry from above
