The numerals can readily be learn
ed as they follow a regular system.
Each numeral has five elements m
It. One is one dot and four dashes,
two is two dots and three dashes, and
so on till FIVE, which has five dots.
Six has one dash and four dots.
seven has two dashes and three dots
and so on till nought, which has Ave
dashes.
There are several methods Of using
the Continental Morse Code for sig
mailing. We will take up the first,
the wigwag method, with the flag.
There is one position and there are
three motions. The position is with
the flag OF other appliance held verti-
cally, the signalman facing directly
desired to communicate. The first
motion, the dot, is to the right of the
sender, embracing an arc of 80 de-
grees, starting with the vertical and
returning to 1t, and will be made in a
plane at right angle to the line con-
Meeting the two stations. The sec
ond motion, the dash, is a similar
motion to the left of the sender The
third motion, front, Is downward di-
rectly in front of the sender and in
stantly returned upward to the first
position. This is used to indicate
a pause or conclusion. The beam
of searchlight may be used in a
similar manner.
To use the torch or hand lantern,
a footlight must be employed as a
point of reference to the motion. The
lantern is more conveniently swung
out upward TO the right OF the foot
light for a dot, to the left for dash,
and raised vertically for front. To
call a station make the call letter un-
III acknowledged, at intervals giving
the call or signal of the calling sta
tion. II the call letter of the station
Is unknown, wave flag until acknowl-
edged. To acknowledge a call, sig
nal Acknowledgment" or 81 under
stand" t. 'front.', followed
by the call letter of the acknowledge

that he has made an error, he should
make AA front, after which he be-

from the sending station, make with
