10. You will visit such ships at various times to ascertain that the seals are intact.
11. On receipt of the "Warning" telegram continuous watch will be kept by "Tamar" or by some other man-of-war in harbour.
12. In the event of any merchant-ships in harbour attempting to signal by R.T., the R.T. guardship will immediately jamb her, and an examination is to be at once made.

14. This will be principally in receiving of R.T. messages from ships approaching
the harbour.
15. No replies are to be made without the special permission of the Commodore, and all messages, other than service ones, must be passed by the Censor before being forwarded.
