HONGKONG'S STORM SIGNALS

A NEW CODE.

Now local and non-local storm signals codes will be introduced

at Hongkong on July 1st, in place of the old Local Code and the China Coast Coda.

r

The principal change in the Local Code

is that the now signals will show the direction from which the gola is expected, whofeas the old signals showed the posi- tiofi of the typhoon. The latter will be

indicated, as heretofore, by the non-local siguals. The new Local Code is given balois :

Signal No. 7 will be accompanied by three explosivo bombs, fired at intervals of 10 seconds at the Water Police Station and repeated at the Harbour Office.

The signals will be lowered when it

is considered that all'danger is over.

The Day Signals will be displayed at the masthead of the storm signal, mast on Blackhead Hill, the Harbour Office, H.M.B. Tamar, Green Island sigoal mast,

the flagstaff on the premises of the Hong. kong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Company at Kowloon, the flagstaff on the premises of the Standard Oil Company at Laichikok, and the flagstaff near the Field Officer's Quarters at Lyomun,

3.--Green-white-white.

4.-Green-green-white.

5.-White-white-green.

6.--Green-green-gresa. 7.-Red-green-red.

The Night Signals will be displayed, Ceat sunset, on the tower of the Railway Station, on H.M.8. Tamar, and on the Harbour Office flagstaff. They will have the same signification as the day signals, Signal No. 7 will be accompanied by explosive hombs as above, in the event of the information conveyed by this signal being first published at night.

SUPPLEMENTARY WARNING.

When local signals are displayed in the Harbour a Cone will be exhibited at the following stations:-Gap Book, Wagian, Stanley, aberdeen, Bau Ki Wan, Sai Kung, Bha Tau Kok and Tai Po to notify the fact to native craft and passing ocean vessels.

Further details can always be given. to ocean vessels, on demand, by signal from lighthousen.

The object of the code is to give at least. 24 hours' warning of a gale (Foros 8 by Beaufort Scale, or 40-45 m.p.h., mean Falocity by Dines Anemometer) and also warnings of expected changes in the direction and force of the wind. Owing, however, to the uncertain movements of typhoons and to insufficient telegraphic observations, it will occasionally happen that signals. 2 to 5 may be displayed without a gala occurring at Hongkong, or even Gap Rock, but the reverse is not likely to happen, except in the case of typhoons forming in the vicinity and travelling rapidly towards Hongkong, or of a located typhoon increasing its rate of progression abnormally,

Signal No. 1 is intended an a warning Stand-By" and watch for the next signal.

In the new non-Local Code the approxi mate velocity of the storm centre will be shown, in addition to its direction of motion, and the position of the centre will be given in degrees of latitude and longituds. The time at which the warm- ing was issued will also be shown,
