These are the ordinances for the
armed force of My Lord of Savoy
concerning the regulation of going
upon the sea.
10. Item when the said Lord
wishes to take counsel let him order
his standard to be placed on high
and then let all the galleys come towards
the said Lord and hear what
he shall wish to command of the
other galleys what the said Lord
shall wish to command.
11. ... and there where they have
landed let each one go to that place
where is the banner under which he
serves.
22. Item, if it happens that my
Lord wishes to speak to the galleys
then my Lord shall raise a banner
of his arms amidships of the galley,
and immediately each one of the
galleys shall approach the said Lord
under the penalty named.
23. Item if it happens that my
Lord wishes to speak to one or to
two or to more of the galleys, then,
when my Lord shall cause to be
raised one banner or two or more;
the captains whose arms are those
of the banner or two banners that
my Lord shall cause to be raised
shall immediately approach the galley
of my Lord to hear what he
wishes to say to them, under the
penalty aforesaid.
26. Item if it has happened that
any one of the said galleys has seen
any strange ship or galley or other
vessel then immediately it shall
raise a banner and lower the banner
towards that part where it sees the
strange vessels, under the penalty
named, and hold the banner in that
position until the galley of my Lord
has returned the signal and has
raised its banner.
