NOTICE.
J. GARDINER AUSTIN, Colonial Secretary.
The undersigned hereby gives notice that, as the Signalinan at Victoria Peak is seldom able to see vessels approaching Hongkong from the North, directions have been given to the Officer in Charge of Cape d'Aguilar Lighthouse to telegraph, to the Harbour Office, the position of any ships in the offing which may have their House Flags or official numbers flying.
The Masters of Vessels not provided with House Flags should signal the name of the Agent to whom they wish to be reported.
The bearing and distance of the Vessel from Cape d'Aguilar will be given. Cape d'Aguilar is nine nautical miles from the anchorage off Victoria.
Masters of ships should hoist their Signals as soon as they think the Flags can be distinguished from Cape d'Aguilar.
