The Night Signals will be displayed, at sunset, on the tower of the Railway Station, or HM.S. Tamar, and on the Harbour Ofice flagstaff: They will have the same signification na the day signals. A Signal No. will be accompanied by explosive bombs as above, in the event of the information conveyed by this signal. being first published at night.
·BUPPLEMENTARY WARNING.
When local signals are displayed in the Harbour a Cone will be exhibited at the
Rock, following stations :-Gap Waglan, Stanley, Aberdeen, Sau Ki Wan, Sai Kung. Sha Tau Kok and Eai Poj to notify the fact to native craft and passing ocean vessels.
Further details can always be given to ocean vessels, on demand, by signal from lighthouses.
The object of the code is to give at least 24 hours' warning of à gale (Force 8 by Beaufort Scale, or 40-45 m.p.h., mean, velocity by Dines Anemometer) and also warnings of expected. changes in the direction and force of the wind. Owing, however, to the uncertain movements of typhoons and to insufficient telegraphic observations, it will occasionally happep that signals to 5 may be displayed without & gale occurring at Hongkong, or even Gap Rock, but the reverse is not likely to happen, except in the case of typhoons forming in the vicinity and of a located typhoon increasing its fate travelling rapidly towards. Hongkong, or of progression abnormally.
Signal No. 1 is intended as a warning to "Stand By" and watch for the next signal.
