parte I

., tit. 24, ley 6: “Sobresalientes are called otherwise men who are placed over and above the requisite number in the ships, both as crossbowmen and other classes of soldiers. Such men have no other duty than to defend those who might be in their ships when fighting with enemies.” Cited by Mosto from A. Jal in Glossaire nautique. (Paris, 1848). Mosto speaks of them at soldiers or volunteers who were embarked to take part in battles and in boarding. Guillemard says of them: “The young men of good family, who took part in the expedition from love of adventure or desire for advancement in military service, shipped as sobresalientes, or supernumeraries” (ut supra, p. 328).
