TYPHOON SIGNALS.

New-Local and Non-Local Storm Signal Codes were introduced, at Hongkong on 1st July, 1917, in place of the old Local Code, and the China Coast Code..

The principal change in the Local Code is that the new signals will show the direction, from which the gale is expected, whereas the old signals. showed the position of the typhoon. The latter will be indicated, as hereto fore, by the Non-Loral Signals. The new Local Code is given below:-
