Sergeant Willlam Line of the signal corps at this port says acold wave signal, i. ¢., a white flag with a square black center, will be used to indtcate that a cold wave is ap* | proaching, and will be displayed from the National Bank building corner Superior and Water streets, and from the life eaving station. It should not become mixed with the storm signals. but be borne in mind that the white flag displayed by itself means a cold wave and nothing more. The flags and com- bination of flags now used by this office are a red flag with a square black center ineans high winds from any direction; a white flag with a square black center a could wave; and, a white flag above a red flag, both having’ square black centers, means high winds from north to west. Storm signals tuke precedence over cold wave signals on accoun:s of having but one flag staff to dis- play from. ‘There ure no signals dieplayed from this office meaning rain or snow.

The attempt proved utterly futile, as the water could be lowered only about two inches. It is’ said that the Hoag is in bad shape; that some of her plank are broken and her butts and seams opened. She will probably have to go into dock to be pumped out. Smith & Davis received a diepatch from Captain McLeod at Collingwood on Monday. He had received a steam pump and would at once try to pump out the schooner C. P. Minch. I: he conld pump her out he thouht he would bave no difficulty in getting her into port.
