Irregular soldier of the Ottoman army.
1 Fellow-soldier, be a scalawag, be a bashi-bazouk , be a Billy-Wilsoneer, if you wish to see the fun in the van!
2 At worst I can turn my hand to doctoring Bashi-bazouks .
3 When we clattered into the cobbled street, we found a solitary Bashi-Bazouk armed with a Winchester repeating rifle.
4 You go as a dignified soldier of her Majesty's; I as an undignified Abel Drugger, to dose Bashi-bazouks .
5 Poor Jake, he was a fine, swaggering fellow; a smart sailor, and as brave as a Turkish Bashi-Bazouk .
6 But may I ask what all this means, and why you were hiding behind my curtains as though you were a burglar or a Bashi-Bazouk ?
