Instruction to sailors to pull hard(er) (5-2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heave-ho

(Other definitions for heave-ho that I've seen before include "Sack" , "Dismissal, as from a job" , "Dismissal (informal)" , "Cry accompanying physical effort" , "Cry on lifting anchor" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
