DISTANT SIGNALS.

In Part III of the Signal Book is given a set of "Distant Signals." which the Candidate is expected to have a knowledge of, and therefore it would be well if he made himself proficient in the Alphabet, and the few particular Signals given below.

The symbols employed are two black balls, two pennants of any colour, and two square flags of any colour. These are combined in eighteen different ways so as to represent the eighteen letters of the Universal Code. The characteristic of the "Distant Signal" is the Ball -one Ball at least appearing in every Hoist.

This Code is arranged as follows:—

The First Column contains all the combinations having the Ball or Balls first or uppermost in the Hoist.

The Second Column contains all the combinations having the Ball or Balls second or separated in the Hoist.

The Third Column contains all the combinations having the Ball or Balls last or lowermost in the Hoist.

These Signals are only used when distance or haze prevents the distinguishing of the Colours of the Flags.

SIGNIFICATIONS of the DISTANT SIGNALS when made singly, which will be indicated by the "stop" following each Hoist.

B. Asks Name of Ship or Signal Station in N. sight.

C. Yes.
D. No.

F. Repeat Signal, or hoist it in a more conspicuous place.

SEMAPHORES.

A system of Signals consisting of a vertical post with three moveable projecting arms, is extensively used at Signal Stations on the French Coast, and is known as the "Semaphore." The moveable arm of the Semaphore is equivalent to the ball of the distant Signal when horizontal, to the pennant when oblique and pointing downwards, and to the square flag when the end is pointing upwards; thus:

MDG. "Leave the Buoy or Beacon to Port."
