Translations for tallow in French

Here are paragraphs from public domain books translated:

There were the two watchmen, sure enough; Red-cap on his back, as stiff as a handspike, with his arms stretched out like those of a crucifix, and his teeth showing through his open lips; Israel Hands propped against the bulwarks, his chin on his chest, his hands lying open before him on the deck, his face as white, under its tan, as a tallow candle.	Les deux gardiens étaient là : Bonnet-Rouge, étendu sur le dos, raide comme un anspect, les deux bras étalés comme ceux d’un crucifix, et les lèvres entrouvertes dans un rictus qui lui découvrait les dents ; Israël Hands, accoté aux bastingages, le menton sur la poitrine, les mains ouvertes à plat devant lui sur le pont, et le visage, sous son hâle, aussi blanc qu’une chandelle de suif.
