The Boatswainâs Mate, which appeared in WW Jacobsâ 1905 short story collection âCaptains Allâ, tells of an ex-boatswain (Johnny Butt) who is eager to win the hand of the local pub landlady. He bribes an ex-soldier to stage a house-breaking, so that he can win her in a heroic last-minute rescue.

Itâs the feisty shotgun-wielding landlady, who triumphantly puts the boatswain in his place. BFI
