er, j. Allen Barrett of Lykens

Idea for a national code of distress
signals for persons who may be lost
injured or in need of assistance while
travelling or hunting in sparsely set
tied regions.
Revolver shots should be used for
the signals, but the victim should
shout, call or whistle them. The
chief requisite would be to have the
code widely understood. The code
follows:
To signify lost" two shots quick
wait. one shot; injured" three shots
quick, wait one shot; "sick," four
shots quick. wait, one shot; help. "
two shots quick, wait, two shots.
