THE HONG KONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, JANUARY 7, 1938.
Day and night signals are displayed at the Royal Observatory, Harbour Office, H.M.S. Tamar, Lyeemun (near Field Officer's quarters), Gough Hill (Police Station), Kowloon Tong (north of La Salle College, Prince Edward Road).
Day signals only are displayed at Green Island, the premises of the Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf and Godown Co., Ltd., and the Socony Vacuum Co., at Laichikok; night signals only on the tower of the Kowloon Railway Station, and on the premises of the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Company, Kowloon.
Supplementary signals are displayed at Aberdeen, Cheung Chau, Gap Rock, Ping Shan, Stanley, Shaukiwan, Saikung, Shataukok, Taipo, Tsun Wan, Tai O and Waglan. They are also hoisted on Police cruising launches and on Police launches Nos. 5 and 6.
Signal No. 1 is a cautionary or "stand by" signal, and does not necessarily imply bad weather. Signals Nos. 5 to 8 convey definite warning of expected gales and will not be hoisted until such gales are probable at Gap Rock and/or Hong Kong, or when a typhoon is sufficiently near to the Colony to warrant a danger signal, although the occurence of a gale may be uncertain.
The term "gale" signifies wind velocity of 40 statute miles per hour and upwards, and on such warning it is advisable that small craft (sampans, launches and junks) seek shelter, steamships prepare to proceed to a recognized typhoon anchorage or mooring, and that custodians of buildings prepare to secure all windows and shutters.
Signal No. 10 will be accompanied by three explosive bombs fired at intervals of 10 seconds at the Water Police Station and at the Harbour Office. It will be displayed as early as possible when wind of typhoon force (60 statute m.p.h.) is expected; in many cases, therefore, No. 9 will not be utilised.
Signals will be lowered when danger is considered to be over.
N.B.-Illustrated copies of the code may be obtained on application to the Royal
Observatory.
