21. Visit to Manila. In company with the Rev. Father E. Gherzi, S.J., of the Sicawei observatory, the Director paid a brief visit to Manila in April, and was afforded every facility for inspecting all branches of the work of the Observatory by the Rev. Fr. M. Selga, S.J., the Director. The opportunity was taken to discuss alterations to the Hong Kong local Storm Signal Code and as a consequence a uniform code (containing 4 international symbols) will be adopted in the Philippines and Hong Kong early in 1935.
