John McArthur (purser) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John McArthur (purser) John McArthur (1755–1840) was a British naval officer, known also as an author. ==Early life== McArthur entered the Royal Navy in 1778, as assistant clerk on board the HMS ''Eagle'' on the North American station. When the ''Eagle'' came home McArthur was moved into the cutter HMS ''Rattlesnake'', and on 22 March 1779 was promoted to be purser of her, for his gallantry in boarding a French privateer in an engagement of the American Revolutionary War off Le Havre on 14 March. In November the Rattlesnake lent her small assistance to the HMS Tartar in capturing the Spanish frigate ''Santa Margarita''; and, when the prize was commissioned for the Royal Navy, McArthur was promoted to be her purser.
