GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.--No. 290.

The following Notice is published for general

information.

By Command,

FREDERICK STEWART,

Colonial Secretary's Office,

Acting Colonial Secretary.

Hongkong, 15th July, 1882.

NOTICE.

In the event of bad weather being apprehended

by this Department, a black drum will be hoisted

at the Office Flagstaff. A similar signal will be hoisted and a gun will be fired from the Police Hulk.

The usual signs of approaching bad weather are, a falling Barometer, with high Thermometer,

sultriness of the atmosphere, and wildness and discoloration of the clouds. Should these symp- toms exist and the wind be anywhere between

North-Westerly and North-Easterly, a typhoon of a severe type may be looked for.

If there are the same indications of bad weather with the wind between South-Easterly and South-

Westerly, a typhoon may be known to be in the neighbourhood, but not likely to be severely felt at Hongkong.

This signal is not to be considered as relieving

Masters of ships from their proper responsibilities.

The signal is intended only as calling the attention

of the Mercantile Marine to any change of weather

which the undersigned is expecting.

Harbour Department,

H. G. THOMSETT, R.N.,

Harbour Master, &c.

Hongkong, 14th July, 1882.
