Messenger, английский
- Вестник, глашатай, посыльный, курьер,
- A large cable-laid rope, used to unmoor or heave up the anchor of a ship, by the aid of the capstan. this is done by binding a part of the messenger to the cable by which the ship rides, in several places, with pliant nippers, and by winding another part of it about the capstan. the messenger has an eye-splice at each end, through which several turns of a strong lashing are passed, forming an endless rope. so that by putting on fresh nippers forward, and taking them off as they are hove aft, the capstan may be kept constantly going, and the cable is walked in without stopping. (see viol.) a superior plan is now adopted, in which the messenger, consisting of a pitch chain which has a double and single link alternately, works in iron spurs fastened above the lower rim of the capstan. this avoids the trouble of shifting or fleeting the messenger while heaving in. again, the cable itself is commonly brought to the capstan.—light forward the messenger! is the order to pull the slack of it towards the hawse holes, on the slack or opposite side, so as to be ready to fasten upon the cable which is being hove in, as it comes off the manger-roller at the bows.
- [1] a seaman who carries messages or runs errands for officers on watch. [2] an endless rope, wound around the capstan, attached to the anchor cable by nippers and used to haul it in, especially when it is too thick and heavy for the capstan (also voyo). [3] a light, weighted line which can be thrown across water and then tied to a heavier line to be pulled after it.
- A small line used to pull a heavier line or cable.
- An instant messaging and video chat service designed for a consumer audience (not for the enterprise). messenger is available via a desktop app, on the web (no installation needed), and on mobile devices.
