"Bondsman" is a word in LAW AND LEGAL, ENGLISH
A surety; one who has entered Into a bond as surety. The word seems to apply especially to the sureties upon the bonds of officers, trustees, etc., while bail should be reserved for the sureties on recognizances and bail-bonds. Haberstlch V. Elliott, 180 IU. 70, 59 N. E. 557

The chief is puzzled, but he shrugs and gives him a fork. The New Yorker takes the fork and starts jabbing himself all over--the stomach, the sides, the chest, everywhere. There is blood gushing out all over, it's horrible. The chief is appalled and asks, "My God, what are you doing?" And the New Yorker responds, "So much for your canoe you stupid cannibal!
