DIRECTIONS TO MARINERS WITH REFERENCE TO Canadian Storm Warnings. Fig. No. 1--This signal indicates the probability of a gale, at first from an Easterly direction. Fig. No. 2.--This signal indicates the probability of a gale, at first from a Westerly direction. Fig. No. 3.--This signal indicates the probability of a heavy gale, at first from an Easterly direction. Fig. No. 4.--This signal indicates the probability of a heavy gale, a first from a Westerly direction. : The night signal corresponding to Nos. 1 and 3, is a red light. Night signal corresponding to Nos. 2 and 4 is a white light above a red light. | NOTE I.--Mariners will be able to obtain further information from Storm Signal Agents, or by consulting the daily probabilities, or from a bulletin furnished each morning to the harbor masters at most of the principal ports, forecasting the wind, direction and force, for the next 36 or 48 hours. NOTE II.--Mariners must always bear in mind that the storm signals are merely cau- tionary, and do not necessarily mean that a storm will occur at the place where the signal is displayed, but that one is expected either there or within such a distance that vessels leaving port would be liable to be caught in it. NOTE III.--October and November are the months in which severe storms most fre- quently occur on the Lakes. In these fall storms on Lakes Erie and Ontario, the wind almost invariably commences at the S. E., works round through South to West and North- West, the time of the hardest blow being usually when the barometer begins to rise as the wind gets around to the West. On Lake Huron and the Georgian Bay, the wind though for the most part changing as on the Lower Lakes--not unfrequently changes with great sud denness, chopping after a lull from S. S. E. to N. W., and blowing hardest, as a rule, from the N. W. CANADIAN STORM SIGNAL STATIONS.
