NOTICE.
Victoria Peak Signal Station.
J. GARDINER Austin, Colonial Secretary.
In order to prevent confusion in indicating whether an approaching Steamer has the English, French or American Mail on board, the Ensign representing that Mail will be hoisted under the Ball at the Mast head together with a distance signal.
With a view to lessening the number of Flags hoisted in making a distance signal (which is now a 3-flag signal), the Flags of the Commercial Code have been numbered, letter B. representing num- ber 1, and so on to W. or number 18, the Code signal representing the Cipher.
In practice these signals will be found not to interfere with the general signals in the book.
The Community should bear in mind that a two-flag signal, such as C. F., which, at the Yard Arm would mean that the vessel signalled bore N. b E., when hoisted at the Mast head will hence- forth signify that the vessel is 24 miles off.
The numerical table for distances on the present Victoria Peak Signal Cards will be discontinued; and owners of such Cards should number their Flags, when they will at once understand how far off a vessel is, without reference to any table.
