NOTICE.

It is hereby notified, that the Ships conveying Chinese Passengers under the provisions of Ordinance No. 5 of 1874, will not be allowed to carry them on the Upper or Weather Deck between

•

the 1st of June and the 15th of October, inclusive.

H. G. THOMSETT,

Emigration Officer, &c.

Hongkong. 7th May. 1881.

NOTICE.

In the event of bad weather being apprehended

by this Departinent, 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,

Harbour Master, &c.

Hongkong, 25th May.1881.

NOTICE.

Owners of Tenements assessed to the Police, Lighting, Water and Fire Brigade Rates, are hereby informed that the Rates for the Third

Quarter of the year 1881 are payable in advance,

during and within the Month of July.

Such Rates should be paid before the 31st July, as after that date immediate application will be made to the Supreme Court for the recovery of arrears.
