GOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.

The following Notice is published for general

information.

By Command,

Colonial Secretary's Office,

FREDERICK STEWART.

Acting Colonial Secretary,'

Hongkong, 25th May, 1880.

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 Baroneter with high Thermometer, sultriness of the atmosphere, and wildness and discoloration of the clouds. Should these synp-

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,

J. P. MCEUEN,

Acting Harbour Master, &c.

Hongkong, 21st May. 1880.

NOTICE.

It is hereby notified, that Ships conveying Chinese Passengers under the provisions of Or- dinance 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.
