Albatrosses

Морской словарь
    There are many varieties of this member of the petrel family including the mollymawk and wandering albatross. the latter is the largest of all flying birds, with a wingspan of up to five meters (15 feet), weighing up to 11 kilograms (24 lbs), and flying at up to 53 km/h (33 mph). completely oceanic, they land only to lay eggs and raise chicks. sailors believe that killing one is an horrendous maritime crime which will bring disaster to the ship committing the murder. this is because seamen have long believed that when a shipmate dies, his body goes to davy jones’ locker, but his soul is transferred to an albatross whose supernatural nature seems to be confirmed when it is seen to remain aloft without flapping its wings for days on end (using the technique of “dynamic soaring” to exploit and glide over cross-currents of air). since world war ii, the albatross has been losing its fight for existence. pirate fishermen troll for toothfish, their principal food, with long lines that trap and drown the birds as well as destroying their food supply. (see alsomother carey’s chickens.)

Aldis lamp, английский
    A hand-held morse code signaling device used by ships and aircraft. alecton’s monster: in november 1861, cruising off the canary islands, under sail with her auxiliary propulsion machinery silent, the crew of alecton—a french navy paddle-wheel “aviso” (courier boat)— sighted a strange creature with a long tail, multiple arms, and eyes the size of dinner plates. cannon and musket fire missed the animal, but they chased and came close enough to harpoon it, then throw the bight of a rope around its mantle. however, when they tried to haul the creature inboard, the rope cut through its soft tissue and all they recovered was the tail, which alecton’s captain delivered to the french consul at tenerife who forwarded it to the academy of sciences in paris. being unable to identify the specimen, the academy’s scientists ridiculed alecton’s report as either fabricated or the result of mass hallucination. one academician, arthur mangin, proclaimed that no man of science should give credence to such stories, because, “...the existence of such a creature would contradict the great laws of harmony and equilibrium which have sovereign rule over living nature....” in fact, it may well have been a giant squid (see appendix).
