very often it happens that a vessel comes steaming into the harbour before the mor- chant or agent is uwars and has had time to arrange or to give instructions as to anchor. ago, wheroby great inconvenience and loss of time to the steamor is caused, Now, one great remedy for this is very simple and by no. means costly. From the Peak there ought to be communication through the Harbour Office or direct, with one or two stations at Kowloon, where fage corre sponding to thezo at the Peak station should ba hoisted. Most of the merchant shipping offices front Kowloon, and, when the Peak might be invisible, fings at Kowloon or some In Cal- other contral spot might be seen. eutta, we believe printed forms with the necessary information are sent round to the exchanges and clubs. Perhaps wo cannot yet oxpect to get so much consideration for shipping interests in Hongkong, but really some improvement ought to be made on the existing must imperfect system of signal- Fling. At presont even the printed regula
tions are not confirmed to, the compass
hearing at the yard- and distance off ab. tits mast head' never being given when an ordinary steamer is sighted.
The second cause of complaint we refer to is of even greater moment. It relates to a matter which in some form or other has ofteri been brought before the public notice.
