the entry shall be read to the offender;
the offender shall be given a copy; and
the offender shall be given the opportunity to reply.

signed by the master; and
signed by the chief mate or another seaman.
In a subsequent legal proceeding, if the entries required by this section are not produced or proved, the court may refuse to receive evidence of the offense.
