A man who serves as a sailor.
1Born as he was in the nineteenth century, he was only a Jack-tar and a hero!
2Because of the smoke, and the carefully rationed water aboard ship, they looked more like a mob of filthy buccaneers than jack-tars.
3"The jack-tars would be delighted to go down in ships and do business in such an element."
4"It ought not to have been loose, and there is a bit of discipline for some jack-tar."
5No one appeared to mind him, till a jolly Jack-tar with both arms cut off, but dressed in full sailor's togs, lurched heavily towards him.
6"Wot captin's that?" growled the Jack-tar.
