THE NIGHT ORDERS
The night orders are usually written up by the Master in the dog watch and are signed by the officer coming on for the first night watch, eight to midnight.
They may be amended and added to at any time. If the Master adds anything to the orders he will relieve the officer of the watch, while his added instructions are being read and initialed, if necessary.
