THE military authorities in Sydney, New South Wales, have requested that attention be drawn to the fact that when a red flag is flying from any of the forts or rifle ranges visible at sea on the coast-line between North Head and Botany Bay it is an indication that shot-and-shell practice or rifle-firing seawards is taking place. Masters of all steamers and persons in charge of sailing-boats and craft of every description are warned that their vessels must be navigated at least three miles from the coast when a red flag is so flying, and they should not remain anywhere in the vicinity of the targets.
