c.1812 “Then he turned. His tone was almost gay now. “Here, Johnny Bow,” he cried, “up with you!” A little sailor with a fiddle tucked under his chin mounted the capstan. The men with half a cheer set the bars into place, and Johnny Bow, with one foot stamping out the time, struck up “The girl I left behind me,” and the lively rattle of capstan joined in an accompaniment.” [Midshipman Farragut, Barnes, 1896] David Glasgow Farragut (1801–1870) - Went to sea at age 11 years. Flag officer of the United States Navy during the American Civil War. David Porter (1780–1843) - Farragut's foster father, mentor and Capt. of the USS Essex (1799) c.1812-1814.
