lascar

Yet how came it that even a low-caste mongrel of a Lascar should offer such an overt insult to a Brahmin!

The lascar moved his feet cautiously, and they rustled among dried stumps.

At last the lascar rose and floundered through the mud toward the village, but he was careful to leave an ally to watch the boats.

A Lascar is standing by grinning, with a bucket of water and a deck-swab; they want to begin holystoning down the decks.
