 38. No expenditures except for food (within the Govern- 
 ment allowance), transportation of supplies that have been

 supplies must be made out in detail, giving dates, quantities, 
 and the price of each article, with the gross amounts carried 
 out in the appropriate columns, and must be duly certified by 
 the district officer, setting forth explicitly the facts ; and, if 
 under a written contract, that fact must be stated in the body 
 of the certificate. 
 
 42. Chief Quartermasters, upon receiving supplies and out- 
 fits, upon which the freight charges have not been prepaid, 
 will forward the bills for the same to the district officer, duly 
 certified. 
 
 43. Officers attached to the Coast Signal Service will receive 
 traveling expenses for travel on duty in accordance with

 ment.

 tendent. Officers entitled to mileage will submit certified 
 
9

 certification. 
 
 DAILY ROUTINE.

 tendent for his approval. 
 
 46. The National Ensign shall be hoisted at 8 a. m. and

 at sunset "colors," except that the officers and men shall stand 
 at attention when the Ensign leaves the truck, and shall 
 salute when the Ensign touches the ground. 
 
 47. The following signals shall be constantly displayed at 
 each station : 
 
 By day International flag " P " at yardarm ; or, when flag 
 fails to be blown out, a drum shape.

 petty officers in charge will also examine the men daily as to 
 their knowledge of the appearance and salient characters and 
 flags of the United States and foreign men-of-war, merchant- 
 men, the special night signals, rules for communicating with

 51. The Chief Quartermaster will be held responsible that 
 the log is kept neatly and that all remarks are signed each

 who will, on going off duty, sign his name to the portion for 
 which he is responsible.

 priate column of the left-hand pages of the log, the weather ;

 station making the entry, while the right-hand column con- 
 tains all signals made by the vessel communicating. The 
 signals are to be recorded vertically under one another, only 
 one word or one display of a nag hoist being placed on each

 REPORTS BY TELEGRAPH. 
 
 55. All stations must report by wire to district headquarters 
 every morning at 6 a. m., using the word "Working." This 
 will be understood to mean, "Crew all well and present; sta- 
 tions and wires in good order and ready for any emergency." 
 A similar report must be made to General Headquarters from 
 each district at 9 a. m. 
 
 56. Stations will report by wire to district headquarters all 
 United States vessels (Government) passing and any messages 
 that they may send ; also everything of vital importance. 
 
 57. Stations will report at once, by wire, suspicious craft 
 or an enemy, to General Headquarters, and notify district 
 headquarters that they have done so. 
 
 58. Messages of vital importance should be repeated after 
 a, short interval, and a request made for return message from 
 headquarters. 
 
13 
 
 59. In case of emergency, when speed is a prime requisite, 
 telegraphic messages must be supplemented by telephone or 
 any other available means, and the message passed to adjoin- 
 ing coast signal stations, so that it may be carried through 
 in some way to general and district headquarters. If the 
 wires or instruments at a station should be out of order when 
 an urgent message is to be sent, every possible effort must be 
 made to get the message to some point of communication. 
 Men should be sent to nearest known telegraph or telephone 
 station on foot, horse, bicycle, or boat. 
 
 60. In case the presence of an enemy's vessel be discovered 
 or strongly suspected, the petty officer in charge of a station 
 should communicate the exact facts immediately to district 
 headquarters, to General Headquarters, and to the command- 
 ing officer of the Coast Defense District or fort or naval vessel 
 in the locality. In the report to district headquarters it should 
 be stated what other authorities have been notified, and 
 whether the receipt of such report has been acknowledged. 
 
 61'. There will be a test made of the wire connections at the 
 beginning of every watch. This is to be a local test to the 
 first relay station. Any defect in the telegraph line or means 
 of communication should be at once reported to the district 
 headquarters, and General Headquarters notified if not im- 
 mediately remedied. 
 
 62. The wires are not to be used except for business of such 
 urgent nature that a letter will not serve the purpose. 
 
 COMMUNICATION WITH OUTSIDERS SECRECY. 
 
 63. Secrecy must be observed in everything pertaining to 
 the Coast Signal Service. 
 
 Officers, enlisted men, and all employees of the Coast Signal 
 Service are prohibited from giving to any person information 
 in relation to the movements of vessels of the United States 
 Government or in regard to anything of a confidential nature. 
 
 64. Merchant ships should be communicated with, as in- 
 formation of value may be obtained, and any questions asked 
 by them may be answered if the answer does not involve the 
 imparting of anything of a confidential nature, but under no 
 circumstances must the movements of United States vessels 
 or anything pertaining to the coast defense be given. 
 
14 
 
 65. If in danger of capture, all signal gear and all books 
 or writings of a confidential nature must be destroyed at once. 
 
 MEDICAL TREATMENT. 
 
 66. The officers and enlisted men of the Coast Signal Serv- 
 ice are entitled to treatment at the United States marine hos- 
 pitals and by the medical officers of that service. For this, 
 it will be necessary for the officers in charge of districts to 
 issue orders for men stationed at their headquarters. Orders 
 of the Chief Quartermasters will be sufficient to obtain treat- 
 ment for the men on the stations. If there is no marine hos- 
 pital or no medical officer of that service in proximity to the 
 stations, or in case of sudden emergency, Chief Quartermasters 
 may call in the nearest civilian doctor of good standing, and 
 must submit service vouchers for his services, together with 
 a full report explaining all facts in connection therewith and 
 showing the emergency.
