APPENDIX D.
-
Examination in Signalling.—The examination in signalling must in all cases and for all grades consist of an examination in the “International Code of Signals,” and (excepting the master of a river steamer) the “Allied Signal Manual,” Morse lamp-flashing, Morse flag-waving, and Semaphore.
-
International Code of Signals.—1. Examiners are recommended to frame the examination in the International Code of Signals upon the instructions and illustrations given at the commencement of Parts I and II of the Signal-book. The information there given will be found sufficient to indicate all the characteristics of the code.
-
By the form of the hoist an observer can at sight understand the nature of any signal he sees flying; the examination should therefore tend to elicit a clear knowledge of all the distinctive features of the code.
-
With this object in view the Examiners should question the candidates as to the distinguishing forms of the respective hoists, which will be indicated according as a burgee, a pennant, or a square flag is uppermost ; and also with regard to the number of flags and the position of the code flag when used in the hoist, making the one-, two-, three-, and four-flag signals with the model flags supplied for the purpose, and varying the signals made, showing two- and three-flag signals, with and without the code flag included, or a geographical or a vocabulary signal, the name of a merchant ship or of a ship of war.
-
As the two latter signals are not found in the Signal-book the candidate should know where to find them and how to look them out.
-
The candidate should—
a. Be able to read a signal at sight so far as to name the flags composing the hoist.
b. Know the use of the code pennant and of the pennants C and D, also of the two burgees A and B, and the square flags S and P, and the flags used to indicate cholera, plague, &c., on board, and the quarantine flag.
