FORTHCOMING EVENTS,
TO DAY.
Signal No. 7 will be accompanied by explosive bombs ns above, in the event of the information conveyed by this signal being frst published at night.
SUPPLEAIENTARY WARNING.
When local signals are displayed in the Harbour & Cone will be exhibited at the lowing stations-Gap Rock, Stanley, Aberdeen, Sau Ki Wan, Kung Sha Tau Kok and Tai Po. to notify the fact to native craft and Passing ocean vessel.
Further details can always be given's to ocean vessels on demand, by signal from lighthouses.
וי.
The object of the code is to give at least 24 hours warning of a gale (Force 8 by Beaufort Scale, or 40-45 mph, 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 signale 2 to 5 may be displayed without a gale 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 as a warning to "Stand By" and watch for the next.
