The object of the code is to give at leash 14 hours warning of a gale (Force 8 by Beaufors Scale, or 40-45 mph, Bona velocity by Dines Anemometer) and als warnings of expected changes in the direction and force of the wind. Uwing, however, to the uncertain movements of typhoons and to insufficient telegraphie observations, it will occasionally happen shat signsis 3 to 5 may be displayed without a gale occurring at Hongkong, or even Gap Hock, but the raverse is 001: 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. R

Bignal No. 1 is intended as a warning, to “ Stand By to and watch for the vert signal.
