BUPPLEMENTARY WARNING,

When local signals are displayed in the Harbour a Cons will be exhibited st the following stations:Gap Rook, Waglán, Stanley, Acerdeen, Bau Ki Wan, Sai Kung, Sha Tan Kok and Tal Po to notify the fact to native craft and passing ocean vessels.

Further details can always be given to ocean. vessela, on demand, by signal from lighthouses.

The object of the code is to give at leasi 24 hours warning of a gale (Force 8 by Beaufort Scale, or 40-45 m.p.h, mean velocity by Dines Anemometer) and almo warnings of expected changes in the direction and fores of the wind. Uwing, however, to the uncertain movements of typhoons and to insufficient telegraphie observations, it will occasionally happen that signals to may be displayed. without a gale occurring at Hongkong, or even Gap Rock, but the reverte is not likely to happen, except in the case of typhoons forming in the vicinity and travelling rapidly towards Hongkong, or of located typhoon increasing ita rater of progression abnormally.

Signal No. 1 is intended as a warning to "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 longitude. The time at which the warn ing was issued will also be shown.
