INTRODUCTION.
The International Code of Signals consists of twenty-six flags one for each letter
of the alphabet
and a Code Pennant.
Urgent and important signals are two-flag signals.
General signals are three-flag signals.
Geographical, Alphabetical Spelling Tables, and Vessels' Numbers are four-flag
signals.
The book is divided into three parts. The first part contains urgent and important
signalsand all the tables of money, weights, barometric heights, etc., together with a
geographical list and a table of phrases formed with the auxiliary verbs.
The second part is an index. It consists of a general vocabulary and a geographical
index. It is arranged alphabetically.
The third part gives lists of the United States storm-warning, life-saving, time-
signal, and wireless telegraph stations, and of Lloyd's signal stations of the world. It
also contains semaphore and distant signal codes and the United States Army and Navy
and Morse Wigwag Codes.

NOTES ON SIGNALING.
1.Plurals. To facilitate the translation of the Code into foreign languages, the
plura'ls of words given in the Signal Book have been omitted. The words should be
indicated by the context.
regarded as being used in the singular, unless the contrary is
meridian of Greenwich, except French and Spanish vessels, which will use the meridian
of Paris or Cadiz, respectively. If any doubt is entertained, the vessel to which the
signal is made should hoist NBL = What is your first meridian ?
4. Meridians. The British Meridian is that of Greenwich. The Meridian of Paris
(Observatory) is 2 20' 15" east of Greenwich, or h. 9 m. 21 sees. The Meridian of
Cadiz (San Fernando Observatory) is 6 12' 24" west of Greenwich, or h. 24 m.
49.6 sees.
5. Passing Vessels. Ships passing one another or Signal Stations will do well to
hoist the following signals in the order shown
(1) National Colors with the Code Signal under them. {The Ensign should
be kept flying until all communication is ended; the Code Flag may be
hauled down if it is required for making a signal.)
(2) name (signal letters).
Ship's
(3) Where from.
(4) Where bound.
(5) Number of days out.
(6) My longitude by chronometer is
The ensign should be dipped and rehoisted as a farewell.
When vessels are passing each other quickly, time will be saved if, instead of hoist-
ing the Answering Pennant, they exchange signals in the following manner
On reading A's name (that is, distinguishing signal), B should hoist hers.
A should not haul down until she understands B's hoist, when both ships
should haul down together and proceed in the order suggested above.
EXAMPLE.
Ship A wishes to get orders from her owner (say), Mr. C. Thomson, at 25 Broad
street, Few York.
Having hoisted her national colors with the Code Signal under them, she makes
the following signals
3d hoist, Code flag over E=27ie signals which follow are alphabetical, [Before this signal
is made the Code Flag under the Ensign may be hauled down.)
4th hoist, 0=c7.

until Alphabetical Signal No. 3 or Numeral Signal No. 1 is made do
not, represent the signals in the Code, but are to be understood as
having their alphabetical meanings and express individual letters of
the alphabet which are to form words.

Code Flag over Flag & Alphabetical Signals, or dot between initials.
Alphabetical Signal No. 3, indicating that the Alphabetical Signals
are ended the signals which follow are to be looked out in the Code
;
EXAMPLE.
To spell "William J. Perry:"
1st hoist, Code Flag over T=The signals which follow are alphabetical.
2d hoist, WIL
= William.
3d hoist, LIAM
4th hoist, Code Flag over F=End of the word (also means dot between initials)
5th hoist, 3= J.
6th hoist, Code Flag over F=Dot between initials (also means end of the word).
Ibis Table can be used in communications between Vessels of all Countries employing the Soman characters,
A, B, C, etc. See also page 13 for alternative system of making Alphabetical Signals.

NUMEKAL SIGNALS.
Under the arrangement shown below, every flag hoisted after Numeral Signal No. 1
has been made, and until Numeral Signal No. 3 or Alphabetical Signal No. 1 (see page 13)
has been made, represents one or more figures as indicated in the Numeral Table below.
If the number to be signalled consists of more than four figures, two or more hoists
must be used, as no hoist is to contain more than four flags; and if any' figure occurs
more than once in the same number, the figure must on its second occurrence begin or
be in a second hoist, and on its third occurrence it must begin or be in a third hoist,
unless use can be made of the signals K to Z in the Numeral Table below.

Part III. TIME SIGNALS OF THE UNITED STATES. 511
512 Part III.
The following regulations governing the use of the U. S. Naval Coastwise Wireless
Telegraph stations are hereby established:
1. The facilities of the naval coastwise wireless telegraph stations (including the one
on the Nantucket Shoal lightship), for communicating with ships at sea, where not in
competition with private wireless telegraph stations, are placed at the service of the pub-
he generally and of maritime interests in particular, under the rules established herein,
which are subject to modification from time to time, for the purpose of
(a) Reporting vessels and intelligence received by wireless telegraphy with regard to
maritime casualties, derelicts at sea, and overdue vessels.
(6) Receiving wireless telegrams of a private or commercial nature from ships at sea,
for further transmission by telegraph or telephone lines.
(c) Transmitting wireless telegrams to ships at sea.
2. For the present this service will be rendered free. All messages will, however, be
subject to the tariffs of the ship stations and land lines. Arrangements have been made
with both the Western Union and Postal Telegraph companies for forwarding messages
received from ships at sea. When a message is not prepaid the company delivering it
will collect the charges. Shipowners should arrange with companies operating the land
lines as to tariffs and the settlement therefor. Messages will not be accepted for trans-
mission to ships whose owners have not agreed to accept unpaid messages, unless a suffi-
cient sum is deposited to cover all charges.
3. The Nantucket Shoal Lightship station will report vessels and transmit messages
from them, if the signals are made by the International Code or any other known to the
operators on the lightship.
4. When notified by the Weather Bureau of the Department of Agriculture, naval
wireless telegraph stations will give storm warnings to vessels communicating with them
by wireless telegraphy. Storm warnings will soon be sent to the Nantucket Shoal light-
ship by wireless telegraphy, and storm signals furnished by the.Weather Bureau will be
displayed therefrom to warn passing vessels.
5. All vessels having the use of the naval wireless telegraph service are requested to
take daily meteorological observations of the weather when within communicating range,
and to transmit such observations to the Weather Bureau by wireless telegraphy at least
once daily, and transmit observations oftener when there is a marked change in the
barometer.
6. Arrangements for a time signal service by wireless telegraphy are now being made.
Part III. united states naval wireless telegraph stations. 513
7. All shipowners desiring to use any special code of signals for communicating with
the Nantucket Shoal Light-ship station or any of the shore stations, or make any other
special arrangements, are requested to communicate with the Bureau of Equipment, Navy
Department, Washington, D. C.
8. All chambers of commerce, maritime exchanges, newspapers, news agencies, and
others desiring to have vessel reports and general marine news forwarded to them regu-
larly are requested to communicate with the Bureau of Equipment in order that necessary
arrangements for the service may be made. In no case will an operator attached to a
station be allowed to act as an agent for any individual or corporation, but all vessel
reports and marine news not of a private nature will be supplied to all applicants so long
as this service does not too greatly tax the personnel of the stations, when it will be neces-
sary for those desiring information involving much time for its distribution to appoint
agents who will be allowed access to the station bulletins.
9. Naval wireless telegraph stations are equipped with apparatus of several systems,
and can communicate with all the principal wireless telegraph systems now in use if tuned
to the same wave length. The Department is desirous of cooperating with all shipowners
wishing to avail themselves of its wireless telegraph service, and, judging from its experi-
ence with numerous systems, it is believed that there will be little or no difficulty in
arranging for communication between its stations and ships equipped with apparatus of
other systems if the owners of the apparatus as well 'as the owners of the ships are desirous
of establishing such communication.
10. Vessels desiring to make use of this service regularly must agree to transmit and
receive all Government messages free.
The Bureau of Equipment expects to erect wireless telegraph stations at the principal
points along the coast of the United States and at points in its insular possessions. As
fast as they are completed they will be open for public use under the regulations established
herein. ,
Notice will be given in the " Notices to Mariners" when stations are put in operation
or withdrawn from the service for any reason.
The Nantucket Shoal light-ship will transmit its messages to the Torpedo Station,
Newport, R. I. All messages intended to be. sent via this light-ship to ships at sea should
be sent to the Torpedo Station.
Arrangements have been made with the Weather Bureau for the transmission of mes-
sages between Cape Henry wireless telegraph station and Norfolk. All messages intended
for the Cape Henry station should be sent via the Weather Bureau, Norfolk, Va.
All messages intended for Dry Tortugas should be sent via the Naval Station, Key
West,.Fla.
The station at Goat Island, Cal., can be reached by either the Postal Telegraph or
the Western Union system, and the one at Mare Island by the Western Union.
The Farallon station will communicate with Goat Island, Cal.
I. A vessel wishing to communicate with a station, and having ascertained by " listen-
ing in" that she is not interfering with messages being exchanged within her range, should
make the call letter of the station at a distance not greater than 75 miles from it.
11. The call should not be continuous, but should be at intervals of
about three min-
utes, in order to give the station a chance to answer.
III. After the station answers, the vessel should send her name,
distance from station,
weather, and number of words she wishes to send; then stop until the station makes O.K.,
signals the number of words she wishes to send to vessel, and signals to go ahead.
IV. Then the vessel begins to send her messages, stopping at the end of each 50 words
and waiting until the station signals O. K. and go ahead; when all messages have been

sent she will so indicate. If the sender desires to designate the Western Union or Postal
Telegraph system for further transmission of his message, he should do so immediately
after the address; as, for example, "A. B. C, Washington, D. C, via W. U. (or P. T.)."
V. When a vessel has indicated that she has finished, the station will send to the ves-
sel such messages as she may have for her, in the following order.
(a) Government business, viz, telegrams from any Government Departments to their
agents on board.
(6) Business concerning the vessel with which communication has been established,
viz, telegrams from owner to master.
(c) Urgent private dispatches, limited.
messages were received, giving sufficient information for them to identify the telegrams
and notify the sender.
XI. In order to obtain the best results, both sending and receiving apparatus should
be tuned to wave length of 320 meters.
XII. Until further notice the speed of sending should not exceed 12 words per
minute.
XIII. In order that all messages received at naval wireless telegraph stations maybe
forwarded to ships for which they are intended, and in order that all ships equipped with
wireless telegraph apparatus may receive storm warnings, they should always report when
in signaling distance of a naval wireless telegraph station.
XIV. The service being without charge at present,the Government accepts no respon-
sibility for the reception or transmission of messages from or for passing vessels. Every
effort will be made to transmit all messages without error and as expeditiously as possible.
It must be remembered that errors are not uncommon in ordinary telegraph and cable
messages, so that due allowance should be made.
XV. In order that the service may be made as good and as useful as possible, it is
requested that complaints should be promptly reported to the Bureau of Equipment as
soon as possible after the cause therefor, giving date, hour, and other details, to enable
the Bureau to investigate the case.
XVI. Information regarding the naval wireless telegraph service will be published in
"Notices to Mariners."

These signals will be kept up until tbe signal station is again occupied, or until telegraphic communication is again possible.
These stations are available to shipowners for reporting the passing of their vessels.
At these signal stations the International Code is the only code recognized, and
vessels of any nation may make their names known by means of this code, and thus
secure the immediate publication of the announcement in the "Shipping Gazette and
Lloyd's List" and "Lloyd's "Weekly Shipping Index." Cases of wreck or other acci-
dents at sea should always be made known by shipmasters to the signal stations with
which they communicate.
Night signals at special stations. The apparatus used for the signals will be a
flashing lamp.
A series of continuous short flashes is to call the attention of a passing vessel.
Aseries of long-short flashes, repeated as often as may be necessary, indicates that
a vessel's signals have been seen and recognized.
If a signal shown by a vessel has not been understood the lamp will be kept dark
until the vessel repeats the signal.
Special night signals at certain stations. Also, to denote telegraphic interruption
during the night, the signal stations at the Old Head of Kinsale and Brow Head will
show S green lights, arranged in the shape of a triangle, apex upward; and to call
attention to this signal a Roman candle will be burnt if the vessel can be recognized.

DISTANT SIGNALS.
the atmosphere, it is impossible to distinguish the colors of the flags of the Inter-
national Code, and, therefore, to read a signal made by those flags they also provide ;
an alternative system of making the signals in the Code, which can be adopted when
the system of flags can not be employed.
2. Three. different methods of making Distant Signals are explained below:
Distant Signals, as it can be, and is, used at and under conditions when
close quarters
flags could equally be employed, but it has been placed here under the heading of
Distant Signals for ease of explanation.
3. The Characteristic of Distant Signals is the Ball;
one ball at least appearing
in each hoist of the Distant Code. In the case of the Semaphore the ball is replaced
by a Dish.
4. Hitherto only three Symbols have been
required for Distant Signaling, but
the increase made in the number of flags of the International Code renders four Sym-
necessary, in order that it may be possible to provide a distinct hoist to represent
bols
each of the flags of the Code (*. e., letters of the alphabet).
5. Distant Signals are made
From a ship by hoisting shapes.
From the shoreby hoisting shapes, or by the position of the arms of a
Semaphore.
6. The Shapes used as Symbols are

Looking DNI out in the International Code, we find it to be "Pilot boat is advancing toward you."
14. When it is desired to signal numbers by Distant Signals, the Numeral Sign
4 2 3 (see Plates V and VI) is to be shown first. After that sign has been shown, and
until the Finishing Sign 4 3 2 (see Plates V and VI) is shown, the hoists representing
the various letters of the alphabet (see Plates V and VI) are to be understood as hav-
ing the numerical values which are allotted to the particular letters under the system
of making Numeral Signals by flags, which is explained on page 32.
Thus, after the Numeral Sign 4 2 3 has been shown, the Distant Signal hoist rep-
resenting the letter A will mean the number 1, that representing B will mean 2, that
representing K
will mean 11, and so on as in the Numeral Table on page 32.

SEMAPHORE SIGNALS.
THE INDICATOR.
The Indicator denotes from which, side the signs are to be read, but when first
shown it is to call attention, and may be considered the preparative signal. When
closed it denotes the finish of the communication.
HOW TO SEMAPHORE.
The person intending to Semaphore will make the International Code Signal VOX
(I am going to Semaphore to you), and set his Semaphore at the alphabetical sign (see
Plate VII) with the Indicator out, and wait until the person to whom the Semaphore
signal is to be made hoists his answering pennant close up. Then he will proceed
with the communication by spelling, making a momentary pause between each sign or
letter the arms are to be dropped between each word or group* the Indicator alone
;
remaining out.
Should the answering pennant be dipped by the person taking in the signal, the
last two words are to be repeated until the answering pennant is again hoisted close up.
When in the middle of a spelling signal numerals have to be made, the Semaphore
is to be put at the numeral sign (see Plate VII), and the number then made. When
the numeral signal is finished the alphabetical sign is to be made and the communi-
cation by spelling proceeded with.
The British method of Semaphoring by flags held in the hand which is shown in
plate VIII is exactly the same as the British Movable Semaphore system, which has just
been explained, the positions of the apparatus which denote the letters, numbers, and
special signs being, it will be seen, identical in each case, and the only difference being
in the apparatus employed.
(2) French Method.
The French method of Semaphoring by flags held in the hand (see 'plate IX) is
based on the same principle as the British method, but the positions in which the flags
are held to denote the letters, etc., are different.

The whole number opposite each letter or numeral stands for that letter or numeral.
TO SEND A MESSAGE.
"To call" a station, signal its initial or call letter' nntil acknowledged. To
acknowledge a message, signal " I understand."
call or receipt of a
Make a slight panse after each letter and also after "front." If the sender
discovers that he has made an error, he should make the "front" and "12.12.3," after
which he proceeds with the message, beginning with the word in which the error
occurred.
Use short flash for "1," two short flashes in quick succession for "2," and a long
steady flash for "3." The elements of a letter should he slightly longer than in sound
signals.
To call a station, make the initial or call letter until acknowledged. Then turn
on a steady flash until answered by a steady flash. The calling station will then
proceed with the message.
All other conventional signals are the same as for the flag.
Use one toot (about half second) for "1," two toots (in quick succession) for "2,"
and a blast (about two seconds' long) for "3." The ear and not the watch is to be
relied upon for the intervals.
The signal of execution for all tactical or drill signals will be one long blast
followed by two toots in quick succession.
In the use of any other appliance, such as a bell, by which a blast can not be given,
three strokes in quick succession will be given in the place of the blast to indicate "3."
When more than two vessels are in company, each vessel, after making "I
understand," should make her call letter that it may be certain which vessel has .
acknowledged.

SIGNALS.
You are standing into danger
I want assistance remain by me
Have encountered ice
;
The way is off my ship you may feel your way past nie
;
The system used is the Morse Alphabet, the letters being made by groups of long
and short flashes caused by moving a flag through a long or short arc, as described
below.
The signalman may work from left to right, or from right to left, as shown in fig-
ures 1 and 2, according to convenience and direction of the wind.
f \
Figure 1. Figure 2,
^
In the normal position (a) in the above figures, the flag should make an angle of
25 with a vertical line through the center of the body.
The pole should be kept high enough to permit seeing underneath the flag while
in motion.
Part III. morse signal code. 549
The flag is waved from a to b, and -without any pause back again to the normal
'
position. i
'
When signaling a letter the flashes representing it should be made in one con-
tinuous wave of the flag, taking particular care that no pause is made when at the
normal position.
Example. To make B, wave the flag from a to b back to a and with
out a pause down to c, making there a short but distinct, pause (vide instructions for
long flash) back to a, then withdut a pause to b and back to the normal position a.
HOW TO SIGNAL.
A pause equal to the length of a long flash should be made at the normal position
a between each letter of a word, or letter of a group of letters.
When the word or group of letters is completed, the butt of the staff is to be
brought to the ground, and the flag at the same moment gathered in.
A slight pause should be made at the normal position before commencing a word
or group of letters.
In receiving a message the flag should be lowered and gathered in until required
