Describe the entry of the old seaman into the Admiral Benbow. What did he look like?

The old seaman is described as....

a "brown old seaman with the sabre cut..."

"...a tall, strong, heavy, nut-brown man, his tarry pigtail falling over the shoulder of his soiled blue coat, his hands ragged and scarred, with black, broken nails, and the sabre cut across one cheek, a dirty, livid white."
