I have carefully referenced the instructions of Lord Howe and Sir Home Popham and suggest that if the bloomers were for signalling purposes the hoist should have been made at the mizzenmast. I am now researching in Motorship to see where they should be employed if intended for the entrapment of wind for propulsion purposes.
