мор.в качестве (простого) матроса (обыкн. употр. с гл. to sail и to serve) [на парусном судне помещение для команды расположено в носовой части перед фок-мачтой]His manner, I suppose, reacted on the men; for they behaved to him as nothing had occurred - as if he were still ship's doctor, and they still faithful hands before the mast. (R. L. Stevenson, ‘Treasure Island’, ch. XXX) — Его обращение с пиратами, видимо, производило на них должное впечатление. Они вели себя с ним так, будто ничего не случилось, будто он по-прежнему корабельный врач, а они - старательные и преданные матросы.

Prichard, ‘The Roaring Nineties’, ch. 37) — - Жду, когда придет торговый парусник. Его не будет до конца месяца, - сказал он Салли. - Два года проработал я матросом на борту "Лох Кэрин" и все клялся себе, что рано или поздно дождусь такого дня, когда займу лучшую пассажирскую каюту на корабле.
