fourth in the clue is 4th letter of alphabet
D...4th letter?
first = a, second = b, third = c, fourth = d so fourth sailor = TAR D

Thanks I thought it must be that but didn't think referring to alphabet just by position was a recognised method.
a couple of examples: you can be an a-list celebrity all the way down to z-list, in Italian football they have Serie A and Serie B

so the corresponding letter of the alphabet is used in some instances
