CHANGE OF WEATHER SIGNALS AT THE PILOT
STATION, MORETON ISLAND, QUEENSLAND.

In consequence of the use of Marryatt's Signals
being discontinued in this Colony after the 31st
instant, the direction of the wind and state of the
sea at Cape Moreton will, after that date, be signalled
from the flagstaff at the Pilot Station, to vessels
outward bound, as follows:—

At the masthead, the direction of the wind will be
shown by the compass signals, section 1, part 1, of
the Commercial Code.

At the north yard-arm, the state of the sea, by the
following flags:—
W—0 Smooth, with slight undulation.
Q—1 Short sea or slight swell.
S—2 Moderate sea or swell.
J—3 Considerable sea or swell.
L—4 Heavy sea or swell.
V—5 Very heavy sea or swell.
N—6 Very heavy sea and very heavy swell.

With the exception of W and N, which are very
seldom required, the number of divisions in the flags
will point out the number indicating the state of the
sea.

These signals will be hoisted as soon after sunrise
as possible, and kept flying for an hour, and they
will also be exhibited at such other times as may be
required.

When necessary, the force of the wind will be
signalled by the Commercial Code (either at the
same time or immediately afterwards), from the
south yard-arm; the force being indicated by the
usual numbers 1 to 12.

When vessels are lying off the watering-place, the
signals will, when practicable, be repeated from the
"Spitfire;" the compass signals being shown at the
mainmast, and the state of the sea at the foremast
head.
