 Art. III. 
 
 On receipt of a warning telegram : 
 
 (1) Acknowledge the warning immediately by telegraph. 
 
 (2) Hoist the drum or cone and post notices. 
 
 (8) Fill up and send by next mail to Toronto, a special postal 
 card acknowledgment. 
 
 If, after the cone or drum and cone has been hoisted for some 
 time, the direction of the wind is expected to change, 
 a second message will be sent similar to the first' 
 containing the word, two, three or four, as the case 
 may be, indicating the signal to be exposed as shewn 
 on the diagram. 
 
 Agents will acknowledge second telegram in precisely the 
 same manner as the first. 
 Eemarks on (1) of Art. III. 
 
 The words of the telegraphic acknowledgment are to be 
 arranged in the following order : 
 
 (a) The local civil time, to be the nearest ten minutes, at 
 which the message was received, according' to Cvnher 
 Table No. 1. ^i 
 
 (h) The second, third and fourth words of the warning. 
 
 (c) Description of recent weather up to the time when the 
 
 warning was received, the description being in ordi- 
 nary language, such as "fine," "north-east gale 
 since sunrise," &c., &c.* 
 
 (d) If a gale had blown during any part of the twelve hours 
 
 preceding the receipt of the warning, and had since 
 ceased, omit description of present weather, if neces- 
 sary, in order to reduce the number of words as 
 much as possible, and give the direction of gale, and, 
 roughly, the times between which it raged, thus : 
 " North-east gale, sunsise, noon." 
 The agent should take care to use no more words than are 
 absolutely necessary in the telegraphic acknowledgment. 
 
 _i„ t ^'^ giviug a deecriptiou of thu force of the wind, the foUowiue terms should ),« o^ 
 
Example 1. 
 Suppose the warning in Art. II., in which the telegram 
 commences with the words "incase, effect, hoist, one," was 
 received at 4.20 p. m., on May 17th, and that the weather had 
 been fine all day, with a liglit breeze from the west, the tele- 
 graphic acknowledgment should be ; 
 
 " Inch effect hoist one fine light west all day." 
 Example 2. 
 Suppose the same telegram was received at 7.10 on May 
 17th, and that at the time there was a fresh breeze from the 
 north-east, and the weather was threatening, the telegraphic 
 acknowledgment should be : 
 
 "Incorrupt effect hoist one north-east fresh threatening " 
 Remarks on (3) Art III. 
 
 In the postal card of acknowledgment, write the following : 
 Time when warning was received, by agent, and at tele- 
 graph office. 
 Exact words of warning. 
 
 Time when telegraphic acknowledgment was despatched. 
 Exact words of telegraphic acknowledgment. 
 Time when storm signal was hoisted. 
 Cause of delay of telegram (if any). 
 Time when card was finished. 
 The times are to be expressed by the month, day of month, 
 and the hour and minute, a. m. and p. m. local time. 
 
 ^ ^^^ . SAFETY CILEGIiAMS. 
 
 Art. IV. 
 
 The words of a safety telegram will be arranged in the same 
 
 manner as in a warning telegram, substituting the 
 
 word "down" for "hoist one " or ''hoist two," &c. 
 Art. V. 
 
 When a safety message is received, the agent will proceed 
 as follows : 
 
 (1) Acknowledge immediately by telegraph the safety mes- 
 
 sage. 
 
 (2) Lower the storm signal and take down tht notice. 
 
8 • 
 
 (3) Fill up, and send by ncj-t mail, a postal card of acknow- 
 ledgment to Toronto. 
 Remarks on (1). 
 
 The telegraphic acknowledgment of a safety message will 
 
 bo as follows : 
 (a) Local time of delivery, see (a), Art. III. 
 (h) Second word of safety telegram. 
 
 (c) The word " down." 
 
 (d) Description of weather at time of receiving safety tele- 
 
 gram. 
 
 (e) Either the words "no storm," or, if a storm occurred, 
 
 the times between which it prevailed, and the direc- 
 tion of the wind. 
 Semarks on (3) Art. V. 
 
 In filling up the postal card of acknowledgment to a safety 
 message, follow the same rule as in acknowledging a warning ; 
 but the time when the signal was lowered must be given, instead 
 of the time when hoisted. 
 
 SPECIAL DIRECTIONS REGARDING STORM SIGNALS 
 
 AxND NOTICES. 
 Art. VI. 
 
 (1) If from aiuf cause a warning does not arrive until 24 hours 
 
 after issue, and a storm be raging, the signal is to be 
 hoisted, to shew that the storm is not a local one 
 but if the storm is over, the signal need not be hoisted. 
 
 (2) In any case, when a warning, though issued in time, does 
 
 not arrive before the commencement of a storm, a 
 notice to that eftect should be published in the local 
 papers, and the cause of. delay stated on the notice 
 posted. 
 
 Signals are to be kept up until ordered down, excepting 
 only in the following case : 
 
 (3) If 30 hours or more after the issue of the warning, the 
 
 storm is apparently over, and no safety telegram has 
 been received, and it be ascertained that there is a

 stoppage of telegraphic communication between 
 Toronto ami the station, the Agent may exercise his 
 discretion as to lowering the signal, or keeping it up 
 longer ; but if the signal is lowered, a telegram stat- 
 ing the fact should be left at the telegraph office to 
 be forwarded immediately on the re-establishment of 
 telegraphic communication. 
 (4) If, when a safety message arrives, the gale be ntill blow- 
 ing, the Agent may, at his discretion, keep up the 
 signal until the gale appears to be abating, in which 
 case, in the telegraphic acknowledgment, the words 
 " gale blowing, signal continued," must be added. 
 
 WRITTEN STOKM REPORTS BY MAIL. 
 Art. VII. 
 
 (1) At every stution to which notices of expected storms are 
 
 habitually sent by telegraph, a record of weather dur- 
 ing and about the time of every storm, actual or ex- 
 pected, is to be kept in a storm register book 
 provided for that purpose. In the same book are to 
 be entered copies of telegrams received, and their 
 telegraphic answers, copies of notices posted, times 
 at which telegrams were recf" and despatched, 
 times of hoisting and lowering ^nal, and times of 
 mailing receipt cards and written reports. 
 Stations provided with instruments will be furnished with 
 a larger register book, form 14, which is to be used 
 in addition to the storm register book. 
 
 (2) As soon as possible, after 24 hours from the time of 
 
 storm ceasing (if it should have continued after 
 despatch of safety telegram), the agent should send 
 to the Meteorological Office by mail, a written storm 
 report, on Form No. 10, at the back of the storm 
 notice, or on the larger Form No. 9 It must be put 
 in an unsealed wrapper or envelope, and stamped with 
 1 cent. If No. 9 is used, the original storm notice is 
 to be enclosed with it. 
 
 .u.. 
 
10 
 
 (8) General directions for making storm reports. 
 
 (a) State plainly in words whether or not there was a strong 
 
 breeze or moderate gale, fresh gale, dec* 
 {h) If there was a strong breeze, &c., give directions, when 
 
 it began and ended, and when it blew strongest, 
 (c) If it did not blow from one direction all the time, name 
 the points from which it blew, when it shifted, and 
 whether it veered with the hands of a watch, or in 
 the contrary direction. 
 {d) Give a brief account of the weather, stating whether rain 
 
 or snow fell, and the amount (if any), 
 (e) If there was no storm, state so distinctly, and give a 
 brief description of the weather. 
 The report should commence with the receipt of the warning, 
 or with the beginning of the storm, (if it began before the warn- 
 ing arrived) or even earher, should appearances have led the 
 Agent to anticipate a storm, and a record of the weather had 
 been kept ; and the report should end about 24 hours after issue 
 of the safety message, or 24 hours after the storm was over (if 
 it should have continued after issue ot the safety message.) 
 
 (4) Form No. 9 is intended for the use of Agents provided 
 with instruments, and who keep a record of storms 
 in Form 14. 
 
 The manner in which the first part of page 1 of Form (9) 
 should be filled, is sufficiently evident from the headings. In 
 the second part of page 1, will be entered, as fully as convenient 
 events and conditions of the following kind, in the order of their 
 occurrence, with the local civil times, a. m. or p. m. The descrip- 
 tion of the winds should, of course, give their directions ; and if 
 the velocity in miles be known, the number which expresses the 
 velocity, should be followed by the word " miles ^ but it will be 
 bufficient if the velocity be described by the general terms used 
 below. See {a).

 Some of the events or conditions to be described are as fol- 
 lows : — 
 
 (a) Wind calm, light, moderate, strong, very strong, heavy 
 
 gale. 
 {h) Wind suddenly increased or lulled. 
 
 (c) Wind's direction rapidly changed from * through * to * 
 
 (d) Eain light, moderate, heavy, time when it began and 
 
 ended. 
 
 (e) Snow light, moderate," heavy, time when it began and 
 
 ended, 
 (/) Hail, thunder, lightning. 
 (g) Remarkable bursts of heat and cold. 
 Observers who send records o'" ">e barometer, are requested to 
 send the imcorrected readings oi cheir barometer, the readings 
 of the attached thermometer, and the reading of the ordinary 
 thermometer. 
 
 Page (2) should contain records of any observations that have 
 been made before receipt of the telegram, see (3), Ait. VII., and 
 up to the time of making the report. To aid observers in select- 
 ing times suitable for these observations, the following occasions 
 are suggested : — 
 
 (h) Occasionally, at equal short intervals, when it is noticed 
 that the barometer rises or falls rapidly. 
 
 (i) When the barometer reaches its highest or lowest point. 
 
 (?) When the velocity of the wind suddenly rises or falls. 
 
 (k) Occasionally, when the velocity is very great. 
 
 (l) When a considerable and rapid change occurs in the 
 direction. 
 
 (w) Occasionally, when the wind changes steadily in one 
 direction. 
 
 (n) Sudden bursts of heat or cold. 
 
 (5) If Form No. 10 only is used, the general directions in 
 (3) Art. VII. will suffice for filling up the report ; bist 
 any information of the kind referred to in (4) Art. 
 VII. will be valuable. 
 
 (c) Uiroctious of wiud to bo inserted in the blanks 
 
 -A 
 
12 
 
 (6) If at .my storm signal station a gale should occur with- 
 
 out its approach being notified by telegraph, a report 
 of it should be transmitted to Toronto by mail.* 
 For such a case, the words "no warning" are to be 
 written in the place of first word of telegram. 
 
 (7) If Form 10 be insufficient to contain the whole report, 
 
 and the agent is not provided with Form 9, he should 
 send a second sheet, marking it "No. 2." 
 
 (8) A copy of every written report, or a memorandum of its 
 
 contents should be kept at the station, to enable the 
 agent to furnish a duplicate in case of miscarriage 
 by mail. 
 Aet. VIII. 
 
 Agents should endeavor to procure and forward information 
 of storms occurring in neighbouring places, abo of damage done 
 to ships, buildings, etc. Local newspapers, or clippings, refer- 
 ring to the same subject would be very useful. The name of 
 the paper and its date should be sent with any clippings. 
 Art. iX. 
 
 It is the duty of the agent to examine, from time to time, the 
 state of the hoisting gear, and give early notice if repairs or paint 
 be required for the mast or signal, audit new halliards are neces- 
 sary. If the halliards appear chaffed, he should freshen the nip 
 near the halliard block, or shift the halliards end for end. 
 
 At the close of navigation, the halliards are to be unrove 
 uried and stowed away in a dry place for the winter.
