If any of the Crew disobey the orders of the Tukang 

 Agung, that officer shall deliver the offender over to the Juro- 

 batu, in order that he may be punished with seven stripes, but 

 it is the usage that such stiipes shall not be inflicted with an 

 uplifted or powerful arm, nor without the knowledge of the 

 Tukang. If the person who has offended still resists the au- 

 thority of the Tukang Agung, he shall be punished with four 

 stripes more.

 If any one resists his authority, he shall in the manner above 

 described, be punished in the presence of the Temenggong 

 (Juromudi) with three times seven stripes, and if the offended 

 still resists the authority of the Tukang it shnll be lawful for 

 the Temenggong to hang him up (suspend him by the arms) 

 and to punish him with three stripes more.

 signifies assistance or advances ; which advances are of two 

 kinds: consisting either of shares of the cargo, or loan of 

 money.
