coxswain

I looked behind me and saw that the officer, the coxswain, who only had to steer the boat, had fallen asleep.

With this coxswain he conversed long about the nature of his stirring and dangerous duties.

This is the east pier watch-house; the marine residence, if we may so express it, of the coxswain of the lifeboat and his men.

Despite darkness and turmoil the quick-eyed coxswain and his mate had noted the incident.
