MERCHANT SHIPPING.
23. Any vessel approaching a defended port in the Colony of Hong- kong when searchlights are boing worked, and finding that they inter- fere with her safe navigation, may make use of the following signals, either singly or combined:
(a) By flashing lamp, four short flashes followed by one long flash. (b) By whistle siren, or fog-horn, four short blasts followed by one long blast.
Whenever possible, both flashing lamp signals and sound signals should be used.
On these signals being made, the searchlights will be worked so as to cause the least inconvenience, being either doused, raised, or their direction altered.
The signal should not be used without real necessity, as unless the vessel is actually in the rays of the searchlight it is impossible to know which searchlight is affected.
The signals are designed to assist mariners and do not render the Government liable in any way,
