of

A cone point upwards indicates a typhoon' to the North of the Colony.
A cone point upwards for tum below in dicates a typhoon to the worth-East of the Colony.
A drum indicates a typhoon to the East of the Colony..
A cone point downwards and drum below indicates a typhoon to the South-East of the Colony,
A cone point downwards indicates a typhoon to the Sonth of the Colony.
A cone point downwards and ball below indicates a typhoon to the South-West of the Colony,
A ball indicates a typhoon to the West of the Colony.

Red Signals indicate that the centre is believed to be more than 300 miles away from the Colony,
Black Signals indicate that the centre is believed to be less than 300 miles away from the Colony,
The above signals will, as heretofore, be hoisted only when typhoons exist in such posi tions or ate moving in such directions that in formation regarding them is considered to be of importance to the Colony or to shipping leav ing the harbour.
