TYPHOON SIGNALS.
Now Local and Non-Local Storm Signal
Codes were introduced at Hongkong on Fat July, 1917, in place of the old Local Code, and the China Coast Code. **

DAY SIGNALS 1-Red cone point upward, will mean a typhoon exists which may possibly cause a gale at Hongkong within 24 hours.
Black done point upward-Gale expected from the North (N.W. to NE);
3-Blick cone point downward-Gale expected from the South (S.E to SW-
