TYPHOON SIGNALS.
New Local and Non-Lpeal 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 Colo is that the new signals will show the direction from which the gold is expected, whereas the old signals showed the position of the typhoon. The latter will be indicated, as hereto fore, by the Non-Local. Signals. The now Local Code is given below:-
DAY SIGNALS,
-Red cone, point upward, will mean a typhoon exista which may possibly cause a gale at Hongkong within 24 hours
