SIGNAL STATION,
VICTORIA PEAK, HONG KONG,
1823 feet above Sea level.
The Union Jack will be hoisted at the Mast Head when any vessel is being signalled.
The Commercial Code of Sigrals for all Nations will be used at the Station.
All Signals made by Vessels in the Offing will be repeated.
When Signalling to Men-of-War in the Harbour or in the Offing, a White Ensign will be hoisted at the Flagstaff, and at the Mast Head of the Man-of-War.
Distance Signals will be made at the Mast Head, and will be kept flying for ten minutes. Compass Signals will be shown at the Yard.
When a Steamer, or the smoke of a Steamer is sighted, the Compass Bearings, and Distance off will be hoisted. If, when the Vessel is made out, she is not a Mail Steamer, the Vessel's Distinguishing Flag will be substituted for the Compass Signal, and it will be kept flying until the Ship anchors.
If the Steamer is a regular Mail Steamer, a Gun will be fired and a Ball over the English, French, or American Ensign, with the Distance off at that time, will be shown at the Mast Head. The Compass Signal and Symbol will be hauled down. The Mail Signal will be kept up until the Vessel nachors.
River Steamers will not be signalled. The approach of other Steamers from Macao or Canton will be made known by showing the National or House Flag and Symbol at Yard Arm.
If a Flag showing that an Officer of high rank is on board an incoming Vessel, a similar Flag will be shown above the Ball, or the Flag alone will be hoisted at the Mast Head.
The approach of Men-of-War and Sailing Vessels will be notified by their proper Symbols and National Colours, or House Flags, at the Quarter of the Yard or at the Yard Arm,
Note.-The Distances of Vessels will be estimated from the Peak and will be made by mesas of the Numerals which are attached to the Flags at foot of this page.
