In consequence it Is too crowded during a typhoon. To the N.W.of Stonecutter's Island (12 ° 20a, 114 * 8) launches find shelter. Tytam Bay to the S. of Hongkong is an excellent harbour, Deep Bay (13° 173. 11416) gives better shelter than Kowloon Bay (23 181, 114° 13') but some vessels prefer the latter as the storm-signals can be seen from there.
Mirs Day (12 331', 114 ° 27') under Pengehan offers abelter ta vessels bound for Hongkong from a northern port. Between Mirs Bay and Swatow there are no very good typhoon barbours, but shelter may be found against N.E. winds. By Namoa Island (13 ° 18","116 ° 57') is excellent anchorage.

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, SATURDAY, JULY 22, 1893.
Dr. Daberek:-That is, except you are very near the centre. If you are too near you cannot cross,
The President --Well, how are you to know how near or how far you are?
Dr. Doberck-You cannot tell.
|
The President:Then that is why I say I would not cross. I would heave-to, I think, with all dus deference to you, Dr. Doberck, you have been slightly misinformed as to the amount of intelligence existing among the ship masters of the present day, with regard in their knowledge of the "Law of Storeis because directly they know what semi-circle they are fa, it is very easy | to know how to mascorre their ships." And | with regard to anchoring on a lee-shore, na valler in his senses would dream of remata. ing at anchor on a len-shore if there is anything liko so ordinary gale of wind comlog on, let alone a typhoon ; be would get to sek al once, unless his engines were broken down (if on steamer) or unless he had lost his masts (on a smiler); and if he could not get, up... his anchor he would slip it, and not attempt to let go a second. Then when hove-to," "with regard to the anchored is clean, finds which way wind coming, he not going to get a cross in his hawsers. Further, with regard to typhoot harbours and anchorages in the China Sea, If we do not all know them by heart, It is very easy to pick them up out of the "China Pilot." Then, with regard to stunlag, you advise also that a ship should run when in the left-hand semi-circle, with the wind lule on the starboard quarter, but I think with a Hittle reflection you will fad the probability in that in many lostances you would run dangerously Dear the centre.
In the course of the summer of 1884 I invented a system of meteorological algoala, Dr. Doberce explained that that was not what which were lately further extended: The day he advised; Captain Tillett had misunderstood. signats coacist of a red and a black deum, half, In the left-hand semi-circle the wind would blow cone pointing upwards, and cone pointing down nearly straight into the centre of the typhoon, wards. They are hoisted only for the Informa-so a safling ship should be particularly close- tion of masters of vessels about to leave the bauled. harbour, The night-signals consist of two white lanterns hoisted six feet apart.
A red drum is holsted to indicate the existence of a typhoon in a longitude more easterly than the Colony, and more than 300 miles away, if it is believed to be within 300 miles, then the black dram is halsted. The weather is nearly always fine when the red drum is holsted, and settled foe if the typhs in moves northward, so that this signal de så not by any means Imply bad weather. Steamers bound for northern, western, or southern ports, should lose no time in
starting, as they may expect main or less fine weather. hose eastward bound should take care to avold the typhoon by following the rules
laid down. Sailing vessels bound for western or southern parts may leave the harbour, but those eastward bound ought to remais, as they are likely to fall in with cairos or coolrary breezes after starting, even if he wind should be southerly here at the time. When the black drum is hoisted aniling vessels may apply for special directions from the Observatory, if necessary.
A cone pointing upwards Indlestes that a typhoon exists in locality more northem than the Coleny. And cone indicates a typhoon beyond, and a black cone a typhoon within 300 miles. More or less persistent S.W. windy at times accompanied by thunderstorms, may then be expected, and ships leaving the barbour are not at all likely to run any risk from the typhoon. It rarely happens that a typhoon moves S, Westward in these fatitudes, and if it happens to do so, it usually soon loses its violence, Salling vessels bound for the North should start at once, and beneft by the S. breeze, no sto run through the Formosa Chanbel, and avold the way round Formais, where at the height of the typhoon season, they are likely to fall in with another typhoon..

A red cone pointing downwa da indicates that a typhoon exists in the China Ses more than 300 miles away. A black ona indicates that the centre is believed to be within 300 miles. Usually experience fresh E veering to S.E. winds to Hongkong. As so many typhoons originate in the China Sex and travel N. or N.W., the master of a vessel desirous of swolding bad weather, should awaft further information, when the
black S. cone la bolsted.

The President accepted the correction, bat maintained his original point, that 'a vessel, should certainly not under any circumstances whatever attemot 10 cross in front of the centre. Of course, if there was a certainty. of getting across into the "easter " 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 fact it was
travelling, or its direction.
|
|
Dr. Deberck said the log-books showed many vessels 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 incurv | theory has been brought up since, but the principle of the semi-circles was known" fórly years ago.
Dr. Doterck-It was always acknowledged, and the important thing is to get on the proper tack.
The President maintained that it was impor. rible, naill the wind veerrd, to know which semi-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 ibat was fully expounded by Sedgwick. One thing ought to be mentioned ; the precent system of typhoon signals in Hongkong was all very well, but did not by any means meet the re- quirements of the shipping interesis. It would be a very great benefit to Hongkong and to ship- masters selling out of the port to have more meteorological informatios then they were abis to obtain at present. For instance, there is no reason why there should not be something published every morning-l! not in the papers, if they had not room to put it in or if they wanted too much money for advertising It, it could be lained in the shape of a small sheet, any the sise of a sheet of notepaper-giving a chart of the China Sea from Cape St. James to Shanghal, oaa small scale, including of course the Islands of Laron, etc, with the Isobars, showing the barometrical pressure round about; and also some sort of meteorological forecast, and also on the chart there might be marked the directions ¦ and If possible the forces of winds in different localities; and also a meteorological forecast, in tabular form, of what the weather would probably be north and south of Hongkong. (Applause.) Of course, much detall was not required; it only shipmasters could see the charts with the husbaṁs and the directions of winds, that would give a good idea of what to expect. That was what the London papers published every morning; and the President had often found, from his own experience when in command of mall steamers running between England and Australia, that it was a great convenience to get the latest paper on salling, with the chart, giving this Information as to all the coast right down to the Bay of Biscay and even Gibraltar. It would not be very dificult to get something of the chart would require the isobars and arrows the same kind la Hongkong; only one copy of for the winds, and a hundred other copies could be taken by manifolding. They could be posted up in Hongkong somewhere where shipping people could get at them-- the Harbour Office and the Association Rooms for instance, and smail charge was segalsed to cover expense The Colony hell is warned of approaching if the Goverment would not go to the exrenze typhoons by means of the typhoon gun, placed of providing the community and the shipping at the foot of the mast for hoisting storms signale, world at large with such a great boon, surely beside the time-ballitower. Ons round is fired there was not a single shipmester who would whenever a strong ga le of wind is expected to not be glad to pay five or ten cants for such a blow here. Two rot, nds when a typhoon is chart on the morning his ship salled. (Loud expected.

A red ball indicates a typhoon lo longitude more westerly than the Colony. A black bail Indicates that it is within 3co miles. Ships need not make any delay to startlog. If bound for the W., and the barometer should happen to fall, which rarely occurs, as typhoons do not move to the eastward in these latitudes, they need only le to and writ, till it elses. If a vessel after leaving Mongkong experiences as increasing a the Formons Chancel, then the S.W. gale.. centre has re curved. You heave-to, and the weather will qui,ly improve.
