NEW CODE.
New local and non-local storm signals codes were introduced at Hongkong on July 1st, 1917, in place of the old Local Code and the China Coast Code..
̈`*~ The principal change in the Local Codo that the now signale will show the direction from which the gule is expected, whereas the old signals showed the posi- tion of the typhoon. The latter will be indicated, as heretofore, by the non-local siganls. The new Local Code is given below:
