Great in many ways!

I wanted to know when the expression 'fiddler's green' was first applied to a place for sailors. Originally it meant a resting place for animals; the first marine reference apparently was by Marryat in the novel "Snarleyyow," about a shipboard dog.
Did Marryat apply it to animals or sailors?
Could not find the book online with Google, so I ordered it (not yet arrived and which I may never read except to find the answer).

It came up immediately when I entered Marryat in 'texts.'
