場へ注進があるよう御打ち合わせの上、公辺(幕府)へ申し立てられ、これまた互いに知らせ合う筈に相定まり、御両家示し合わせの次第は追って御届けが置かれた。異国船が渡来する節には、洋中(海上)へ乗り出して海戦を致すべき義につき、船奉行が仰せ付けられ、御軍船をはじめ大小の船々数艘が新しく打ち立て(建造)に相成り、その外、臨時の節は御領分の浦々の寄船(集めた船)の手配をいたした。海上にて葵御紋の御船印は、公儀(幕府)の外には相成らぬ御規定の由に候ところ、御用柄(任務の性質上)格別に、公儀の御印等に類するものなしとの由にて、赤地に白御紋、下に白筋二筋を染め貫いた大吹貫(大きな吹き流し)を、臨時の節に限り御用に成さるべき旨御達しがあり、将長(将官・指揮官)の乗船へ相建てる筈とした。三宅小十郎と申す者を御船頭に召し抱え、その外御船方・沖乗り・水主(かこ)数人を御扶持人に召し拘え(召し抱え)、御領分にて船業に功者なる者共を相撰び、仮船頭五十人余・水主五百五十人余を、苗字帯刀・足役御免につき御雇いとして召し仕える筈にて、かねてより心得方等を厚く申し含め、臨時の節、船方の義が差し滞りなきよう差配した。渡来の節、台場にて狼煙をもって相図(合図)致し候はば、次の台場にて受け続け、御領分の村々においては、かねてより名主の宅へ板木を懸け置き、台場の相図があり候はば、速やかに打ち立てて村々へ…
英語訳
...reports were to be made to the [nearest] garrison, and after consultation, the matter was to be reported to the authorities (*kōbe*, i.e., the shogunate); it was likewise established that both parties would inform each other accordingly, and the details of the arrangements agreed upon between the two domains were to be duly submitted as a report. As it was determined that, upon the arrival of a foreign ship (*ikoku-sen*), [the domain forces] would sortie into open waters to engage in naval battle, a Ship Magistrate (*fune-bugyō*) was appointed; several warships (*gunsen*) as well as vessels of various sizes were newly constructed, and additionally, in the event of an emergency, arrangements were made to requisition vessels (*yosebune*) from the coastal areas of the domain's territories. Since it was stipulated by regulation that the ship's ensign (*o-fune-jirushi*) bearing the hollyhock crest (*aoi go-mon*) could only be used by the shogunate (*kōgi*), and as there was nothing equivalent to the shogunate's official insignia that was suited to the nature of this special duty, an authorization was issued to use, exclusively on emergency occasions, a large streamer (*ō-fukinuki*) dyed with a white crest on a red ground and two white horizontal stripes below it, which was to be raised on the vessel of the commanding officer (*shōchō*). A man by the name of Miyake Kojūrō was engaged as the chief helmsman (*o-sendō*), and several others serving as ship's officers (*o-funakata*), navigating officers (*okinori*), and sailors (*kako*) were taken on as stipended retainers (*o-fuchi-nin*). From among those skilled in maritime affairs (*sengyo*) within the domain's territories, selections were made, and over fifty provisional helmsmen (*kari-sendō*) and over five hundred and fifty sailors (*suifu*) were engaged as hired personnel (*o-yatoi*), with the privileges of surname (*myōji*), the right to wear swords (*taitō*), and exemption from foot-service (*ashiyaku*) granted [as incentives]. They were to be thoroughly briefed in advance on conduct and procedures, and arrangements were made to ensure that maritime affairs would proceed without hindrance in the event of an emergency. When a [foreign vessel's] arrival was signaled from a shore battery (*daiba*) by means of a signal rocket (*noroshi*), the next shore battery was to relay the signal in succession; and throughout the villages of the domain's territories, wooden clappers (*ita-gi*) were to be hung in advance at the village headmen's (*nanushi*) residences, so that upon receiving the signal from the shore battery, they would be promptly struck and [the alarm spread] from village to village...
