第報

Acting Colonial Secretary.

Colonial Secretary's Office,

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 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.
