NEW SYSTEM or
COASTAL WARNING
SIGNALS SLATED

Cape Hatteras.-LA new simpIi-
fled system of Coastal Warning
Displays, to take effect January
/, 1858, has been announced by
the Weather Bureau, Department
of Commerce. For many years,
whenever winds dangerous to nav
ignation have been forecast by
the Weather Bureau, storm warn
ing signals have been displayed
along the coast of the United
States, the Great Lakes, the Ha-
waiian Islands, and Puerto Rico.
Under the new system, only
four separate flag signals will be
used during the day, instead of the
seven separate flag signals now
employed in the Weather Bureaus
Storm Warning Display System.
During the night only four COM
parable lantern signals will be
used for Small Craft, Gale, Whole
Gale, and Hurricane warnings.
For the remainder of 1857 the
same storm warning signal system
as used in 1856 will be continued.
The major differences between
the old and the new visual warn
ing display systems are:
az The substitution of single
UNCONVENTIONAL ''gale warning"
signal for the four separate direc-
tional "storm warning" signals
that were used to specify north
east, southeast, southwest, or
northwest gales.
(2) the introduction of a new
lantern signal for use during the
night for "small craft warnings"
Under the old system displays for
small craft warnings were used in
the daytime only.
HURRICANE WARNING: Two
square red flags with black CEN
tiers displayed by day and white
light between two red lights at
night to indicate that winds "a
miles, an hour ga knots) and
above are forecast.
Complete explanations of the
old and the new display signals,
illustrated to show the colors and
arrangements of flag and lanterns,
are now being given wide distri-
button by all coastal Weather Blu
reau stations.
