they were veri' able yeomen in the

years ago that what are now Jun or

that title being, as take it, a survival
from the days when soldiers and poll

to sea as officers and had to have a
sailing master on board-a master
mariner-to supply the seamanship.
The ships policeman is still kno gn
as master at arms, as he vas iii the

created as a grade below hat of a

him Jimmy Legs just as they have
