number (i.e., signal letters in the code list), as well
as the port to which the ship belongs.
2. The telegram shall either be written in the
Swedish language or be composed of combinations of
letters. In the latter case only the following
eighteen consonants of the alphabet, viz., B, C, D, F,
G, H, J, K, L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, T, V, and W, may
be used. Each combination shall not contain more
than four letters. A telegram of this description
will be considered as if it were ciphered.
Telegrams coming from ships will, at the request
of the sender, be forwarded to their destination in
the above-mentioned kind of cipher. In case no
such request should be made, the despatch will be
forwarded in Swedish translation.

The charge for messages by signal letters will,
in the rule, be calculated at the following rate:
(a) for signalling, 1 krona 50 öre for any number of
words; (b) the forwarding of the message through
the telegraph will be charged according to the esta-
blished tariff of rates for inland and foreign tele-
graphic correspondence. The whole amount of both
these posts is to be paid: for telegrams sent to
vessels by the sender, and for despatches coming
from vessels by the receiver.

Passing vessels will be able, by simply hoisting the
ensign with their distinguishing signal (i.e., their
official number in the code list), to have their passage
reported by telegraph to any person within Sweden
who, by letter or telegram, shall have previously
applied to the office for such purpose, at the same
time giving his address. In such cases no charge
will at present be made for the signalling, and the
person to whom a message is addressed will only have
to pay the ordinary charge for the transmission by tele-
graphic wire and such expenses as the forwarding of
the message to its address from the nearest telegraph
office may involve.

After the establishment of the electric telegraph
office, the optical telegraph at Vinga will no longer
be used.
