However, 16-A be a dark business indeed.

But, shiver me timbers, I thought for sure 30-Across would be ARR. And I believe the clue for 16-A should read "Exclamations of discovery" and 38-D should read "One who makes moans". The last letters of each seem to have walked the plank. Ah, nuthin’ like a good pirate puzzle. But, shiver me timbers, I thought for sure 30-Across would be ARR.
