jack-tar

Boats are lowered away, and Jack Tar prepares to go ashore as a seaman-infantryman.

Consequently the Jack Tar knows more about the pistol and the military revolver than most men give him credit for.

The unfamiliar uniform of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century "Jack Tar" is a study in costume.

"Let lodgings—keep a school—make the boy a shoemaker—send that Jack Tar to sea," was the response.

None are more ready to pay due deference to rank than Jack-tar, for he is made most to feel its power.
