I have the whistle. I need the instructions. According to the ad it
should have come with instructions. It didn't.

West has one for a few bucks and includes instructions on how to use it
and many calls.

Actually it is a Bosun's pipe not whistle. Making it work isn't all that
hard, it's learning the various calls that is the kicker. You'd need a
recording of each or someone who knows them to teach you.

Further note. One doesn't whistle on a naval ship. At least not within
hearing distance of any grizzled old bosun's. A bosun "pipes down"
various calls, meals, reveille, now hear this, etc.
