Your Excellency,
of the 6th. With reference to your letter
instant, I have the honour to inform you that the suggestions made by the Colonial Harbour Master appear suitable and adequate to prevent Local Signs being read as signals of the Internation-
-al Signal Code Manual.
2.
But, with reference to paragraph 3 in Colonial Harbour Master's letter, although the Code Pendant below a single flag has no meaning in the International Code Book, the following memorandum is published to His Majesty's
Ships in Hongkong:-
"It is hereby notified that from this date (11th.
February, 1907) any merchant ships lying in
harbour and requiring urgent medical assistance
shall hoist where best seen "M" commercial flag with
code pendent below".
Hag
It will be soon therefore, that a Merchant Ship using "" over Code Pendant at any of the other China Coast Porta as a private signal to her owners &c., might very easily do the same thing in Hongkong, thereby surmoning the Medical Officer of the Guard
with no cause.
3.
The Commander-in-Chief's suggestion to have
a special symbol superior to all harbour and local signals would obviate every chance of confusion and I venture to suggest that "H" Flag (Commercial Code) be called the "Harbour Flag" and always hoisted superior with a long tack to all signals intended
for local use.
Excellenay
The Governor, Hongkong.
I have etc., (sd.) H. Lyon,
Commodore.
