CAUTION.
When Submarines are taking in patrol at the Asiatic Petroleum Company's Wharf at Tai Kok Tsui, a Red Flag will be hoisted at the Flag Staff at pier head also Red Flags will be placed on the Buoys to N. and W. N. W. of such pier.
No ship, launch or other vessel shall approach this Wharf or within 250 yards of such when the Red Flags are hoisted and all traffic shall pass to the Westward of the Buoys when flying Red Flags.
C. W. BECKWITH, Commander, R.N., Harbour Master, §r.
HONGKONG, 28th April, 1911.
CAUTION.
As Submarines will be constantly exercised in the vicinity of this Port and in view of the difficulty that passing vessels have in observing these Boats, a large Square Red Flag will be displayed from the vessel in company with the Submarines (usually a Destroyer or Gunboat) and this Flag will be flown whenever Submarines are practising in the Waters of the Colony or those adjacent to it.
The vessel flying the Red Flag should be given a berth of at least one mile. When, however, this from any reason cannot be given, the vessel flying the Red Flag must be ap- proached at a slow speed and a good look out kept for Submarines, until the approaching ship can be warned by word of mouth of the danger zone.
