GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.--No. 125.
The following Notice is published for general information.
By His Excellency's Command,
W. M. DEANE, Acting Colonial Secretary.
Colonial Secretary's Office, Hongkong, 18th March, 1882.
NOTICE.
Telegraph and Signal Station of Vinga.
On the 15th of September an Electric Telegraph Office, combined with a special establishment for exchanging signals with vessels passing at sea, will be opened at Vinga at the entrance to Gottenburg.
This Office is situated 140 meters westward from the Vinga beacon.
Telegrams will there be received and dispatched daily from sunrise to sunset.
The signalling to ships at sea will be carried on exclusively by means of flags and distance signals, according to the rules laid down in the International "Commercial Code of Signals".
With regard to telegrams sent to vessels, the following rules are to be observed:
1st. The address must give, not only the ordinary indications, but also the name of the vessel, its official number (i. e. signal letters in the Code List) as well as the port to which the ship belongs. 2nd. The telegram shall either be written in the Swedish language or be composed of combinations of letters. In the latter case only the following 18 consonants of the alphabet viz. B. C. D. F. G. H. J. K. L. M. N. P. Q. R. S. T. V. and W. may be used; each combination shall not contain more than four letters; a telegram of this description will be considered as if it were ciphered.
