14. Quando misser lo capitanio
uorà che alguna de so Galie uegna
da lui, el farà leuare in pope la bandiera
di qual sopracomito el uorà
che uegna da lui. In quella fiada
quel tal sopracomito di chi sarà la
bandiera uegni de presente à lui sotto
quella pena che à lui piaserà.
These are the ordinances and
commands given by the eminent
M^r Piero Mocenigo, Captain General
at Sea--1420--
5. Fifthly, when proceeding under
sail, no galley shall attempt to
pass the lantern of the Captain except
the galley which shall be on
guard, but should always take care
not to part company from him under
penalty of 10 lira for each one contravening,
especially when they are
racing. The Captain will place the
flag amidships. In that case anyone
wishing to race shall have liberty to
do so; not however outdistancing
him more than two miles at the
most, under the aforesaid penalty.
13. When the Captain desires to
call the ships to him he will put a
flag on the poop, in which case all
the galleys ought to approach him
in order to learn his intentions.
14. When the Captain desires any
particular galley to come to him, he
will raise on the poop the flag of
that commander whom he wishes to
come to him. In that case the commander
whose flag it is shall at once
repair to him under such penalty as
seems fit.
Signals for the galley on guard.
