Re-reading WH.
After the D's get their sledge and the whole party is making for
WCI over the ice, they are all roped together - John going first.
Roger says: "If John goes through we've got the rope and we just
grab it and HOWK him out again".

No problem with the image but where does "HOWK" come from?
Is it perhaps Devon/Cornwall where certainly John and Susan learned
to sail at Falmouth with their Dad. Or is it from some place else?

Does anyone either know or have any ideas?
