vessel within this regulated area. A succession of sharp, short signals 
by whistle or horn from vessels patrolling the area under the direction 
of the PATCOM shall serve as a signal to stop. Vessels so signaled

failure to comply, or both.
    If it is deemed necessary for the protection of life and property,
