MANUAL FOR NONCOMMISSIONED OFFICERS. 



Note. — In making the interval the flags are crossed down- 

 ward in front of the body (just above the knees) ; the double 

 interval is the " chop-chop " signal made twice ; the triple 

 interval is " chop-chop " signal made three times. In calling a 

 station face it squarely and make its call. If. there is no im- 

 mediate reply wave the flags over the head to attract atten- 

 tion, making the call at frequent intervals. When the sender 

 makes " end of message " the receiver, if message is under- 

 stood, extends the flags horizontally and waves them until the 

 sender does the same, when both leave their stations. Care 

 must be taken with hand flags to hold the staffs so as to form 

 a prolongation of the arms.
