displaymen, by rockets, mossagcs, and other suitable means. The 

 followini>- special instructions, issued on September 28, 1911, indicate 

 the action authorized to be taken at the storm-warning centers in 

 order to make these warnings of the greatest possible value in the 

 protection of life and property: 



When an order to hoist the hurricane warning is received at any station 

 every effort will be made to give the warning the widest possible distribution, 

 especially among vessels in the harbor and persons occupying isolated or 

 dangerous points that can not be communicated with by telegraph or telephone. 

 Vessel masters will be notified that it is dangerous to leave port. In the dis- 

 tribution of such warnings officials in charge of stations are hereby authorized 

 to incur any reasonable expense, such as hire of boats, tugs, horses, automo- 

 biles, and special messengers, not to exceed $200 for any one occasion, without 

 special telegraphic authority. A telegraphic report of such measures, with a 

 statement of the expense incurred, will promptly be made to the central office. 



The following statement gives the number of stations, arranged 

 under district centers, receiving storm warnings:
