Further details can always be given to ocean vessels, on demand, by signal from lighthouses.
The object of the code is to give at least 24 hours warning of a gale (Force 8 by Beaufort Scale, or 40-45 m.p.h., mean velocity 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 9 to 5 may be displayed without a gale occurring at Hongkong,
