APPENDIX D.

Examination in Signalling.—The examination in Signalling should in all cases and for all grades consist of an examination in the International Code, and (excepting the master of a river steamer or harbour sailing-ship), the Allied Signal Manual, Morse Flashing and Semaphore.

International Code.—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 1, 2, 3, and 4 flag signals with the flags supplied for the purpose, and varying the signals made, showing 2 and 3 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.
