In the course of the summer of 1884 I
Invented a system of meteorological signale which were lately farther extended. The day- signals constar of a red and wblack drum, bail, cone pointing upwards, and cone pointing down wards. They are hoisted saly for the informa tion of masters of vessels about to leave the barbour. The night-signals consist of two white lanteras hoisted six feet apart.
A red drum is hoisted to fadicate the existence of typhoon lo longitude more easterly than the Colony, and more than 300 miles away. If it is believed to be within jos miles, then the black dram is holsted. The weather is nearly always fine when the red drum is bolsted, and settled fine if the typhoon moves northward, so that this signal dess not by any means Imply bad weather. Steamers bound for northern, western, or southern parts, should lose no time in starting, as they may expect more or less fine westher. Those eastward bound should take care to avoid the typhoon by following the rules laid down. Sailing vessels bound for western or southern ports may leave the harbour, but those eastward bound ought to remain, as they are Hikely to fall in with calms or contrary, bremzes after starting, even if the wind should be southerly here at the ilme. When the black dram is holsted saliing vessels may apply for special directions from the Observatory, necessary,
A cone pointing upwards indicates that a typhoon exista in a locality more authern than the Colony. A red cone indiaites a typhoon heyond, and a black cone a typhoon within 300 miles. More or less persistent S.W. winds, at times accompanied by thunderstorms may then be expected, and ships leaving, the harbour are not at all likely to run any itek from the typhon. It rarely happens that a typhoon Koves S, Westward in these latitudes, and if it happens to do so, it usually soon loses its violence. Sailing vessels bound for the North should start at once, and benefit by the 5. breeze. so as to ran through the Formors Channel, and avoid the way round Fomos", where at the height of the typhoon season, they are likely to fall in with another typheon.
A red cone pointing downwards indicates that a typhoon cxists in the Chies Sex more than 300 miles away. A black cone indicates that the centre is believed to be within 300 miles Usually we experience fresh E. veering to SE. winds in Hongkong. As so many typhoons originate in the Chins Sex and travel N. or N.W, the master of a vessel desirous of avoiding bad weather, should awalt further information, when the black S. cone is hoisted.
A red ball indicates a turboon in a longitude more westerly than the Colony, A black ball lodicates that it is within comfes. Ships need not make any delay in waiting. If bound for the W., and the barometer should happen to full, which rarely recurs, as typhoons do not move to the eastward in, these latitudes, they need only lle to and wif it rises, If'a vesiel after learing Hongkong experiences an increasing S.W. gale in the Forms Channel, then the centre has recurved You beave to, and the weather will quickly improve.
At night te lanterns indicate bad weather fo the Colony, or at any rate the fact that there is a typhoon in the neighbourhood. If hoisted venically, they indicate that the wind will weer, horisontally they indicate that it will

All these signals are repeated at the flagstaff of the Godown Company in Kewloon. The day-signals are repeated a the Harbour Office, and on H.M. S. Victor Emanuel.
The Colony itself is warned of approaching typhoons by means of the typhoon gan, placed at the foot of the mast for hoisting storm signals, beside the Ume ball tower. One round is Bred whenever a strong gale of wind is expected to blow here. Two rounds when a typhons is expected. Three rounds will be fired, if possible,), whenever the wind is expected to shift suddenly doring a typhoon.
Notice boards exhibiting meteorological obser vations, weather forecasts, storm-warnings and Information concerning typhoons, ave placed at the Office of the Eastern Extension Telegraph Company in Queen's Road, at Fedder's Wharf, at the Office of the Billh Mercantile Marina Officers' Association, at the Harbour Office, at
Capt. Warwick men ioned an lastance in which he had to follow a typhoon, seath of Padaran, because there were three different seas running, and the vessel had to keep head on to
the worst one.
Captain Word mentioned his experiences in the Kashgar, in lat. 25.41 N, and long, 131 30, when the ccentrics carried away, and he had to let the vessel go before the wind with two baw sers out astern as a sea ancher, the wind being on the port quarter, from the eastward. The barometer showed 2899, and it was a full typhoon. His reason for the stern anchoring Was that the seas bad already badly damaged the fore part of the ship. He did the same in the steamer Tatsang and the barque Panikom.
Some disroselon ensued as to the serious danger of fouling the propellor with sea anchors
aster.
Capt. Lawrence pointed out that Dr. Roberck's advic: to stake the topmasts on the approach of a typhoon was the very best way to get a ship dismasted. It would never do any good.
Mr. Figg (first assistant at the Observatory) stated that there was no doubt the Bokkara would have been safe if she had ran.
h
be advised Captain Thiets had misunderstood. Dr. Doberck explained that that was not what In the left-hand semi-circle the wind would blow nearly straight foto the centre of the typhoon, so a sailing ship should be particularly close. hauled.
The President accepted the correction, bat maintained his origical point, that a vessel should certainly not under any circumstances cross In front of whatever attempt to the centre. Of course, if there was a certainty of getting across into the "easier" semi-circle, In plenty of time, it would be quite different! but it was simply impossible to tell how far away the centre was or how fast it was travelling, or lis direction.
Dr. Doberck said the log-books showed many wessels on the wrong tack in typhoons, and that was why be bad tried to explain.
The President :-Yes, but it should not be so, for we all can go back to the rules laid down by Sedgwick in the fifties. Of course the lecurving theory has been brought up sincs, but the principle of the semi-circles was known forty years ago,
Dr. Daterck-It was always acknowledged, and the important thing is to get on the proper tack.
The President maintained that it was imp25- sible, until the wind veered, to know which Berni-circle it was,' and which tack to go on. There was nothing whatever to show which semi-circle a ship was in until the wind began to shift; and that was fully expounded by Sedgwick. One thing ought to be mentioned; the present system of typhoon signals in Hongkong was all. very well, but did not by any means meet the re- quirements of the shipping interests. It would be very great benefit to Hongkong and to ship tassters sillog out of the port to have more beteorological information then they were able to obtain at present. For instance, there was at reason why there should not be something philshed every morning-if not in the papers, if they had not room to put it in or If they wanted ter much money for advertising it it could be
