The general call is made by exposing a green light until it is answered by all the vessels within signaling distance. The special call is made by signaling the initial letter of the vessel called until answered. The answer to a call, or I understand, is made by showing a red light. The repeat, or, I do not understand, is made by showing a green light. Note--This change is made to preclude any mistake as to what vessel is making tne call. If the answering were green, attention might be directed to an answering vessel instead of to the calling vessel. Attention may be drawn by firing a red Very signal. The lights will be made in succession, according to the Very code accompanying this circular. Use telegraphic book: Show both lights together twice, followed by the designator G G R G. Note.--Lights should oe exposed about two seconds and be separated by an interval of about two seconds. It is not intended that measured time elements shall enter. Times of exposure and of darkness are given simply as a guide. A little practice will enable a signalman to make his lights and intervals regular; this is all that is necessary. Signals are separated by the designator. The completion of a signal is indicated by making two designators. R ) R ) R ) Use General Signal Book, make three doubles, Q f Q f Q f Use Morse code. Expose the red continuously; while green is shown intermittently twice; then proceed with the message, a dash being green and a dot red. Words are separated by a double. Two dots separated by a space are made thus: the red is exposed continuously for about six seconds; during the third and fourth seconds, the ...

Albert Parker Niblack was born on July 25, 1859 in Vincennes, Indiana, United States. He was the fifth generation in descent from John Niblack of Scotland, who came to America in 1760 and settled in Salisbury, North Carolina. His father was William Ellis Niblack; his mother, Eliza Ann Sherman.
Niblack had his early education in the public schools, and entering the United States Naval Academy at seventeen, was graduated four years later (1880). After two years on the South Pacific Station, he was sent to the Smithsonian Institution for instruction and then spent four years in survey and exploration in Alaska.
In May 1887 he was instrumental in saving the crew of the Ocean King, which foundered off the northwest coast, and for this he received a letter of commendation. Varied duty afloat followed.
In the years 1896-98 he was naval attaché in Berlin, Rome, and Vienna. His interest in writing continued, and in 1890 and in 1896 he was the prize essayist of the United States Naval Institute.
In the Spanish-American War he took part in the blockade of the Cuban coast and in the battle of Nipe Bay. On being ordered to the East, he assisted in the suppression of the Philippine insurrection. In 1900, at the time of the Boxer trouble, he served in the North China Expeditionary Force. Later he was in the Philippine Islands, where, under the United States navy hydrographic office, he acted as secretary to the naval commission and was personally charged with the surveys made for several of the naval stations.
After commanding several ships in the Pacific and the Atlantic, he served again as naval attaché, first for a year and a half in South America at Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, and Santiago, and then for somewhat less than two years in Europe at Berlin and The Hague.
He had been promoted captain in 1911, and in 1914 when he was in command of the battleship Michigan he took part in the occupation of Vera Cruz. Later he was ordered to Newport for the long course at the Naval War College, with which for some time he had had a close relation both as student and lecturer, and was graduated in December 1916.
At the outbreak of the World War he was given command of the First Division and later of the First Squadron of Battleships of the Atlantic Fleet. In November 1917 he was given command of the Second Squadron, Patrol Force, of the Atlantic Fleet based on Gibraltar, and had this most important duty until after the signing of the armistice. It was estimated that more than one-fourth of the convoys which reached the Allies either rendezvoused at this point or passed through the straits. His force here consisted of forty-one ships and a personnel which averaged 314 officers and 4, 660 men. The American ships attending the convoys provided approximately seventy per cent of the escorts between Gibraltar and the United Kingdom as well as twenty-five per cent of those required for the Allied forces in the Mediterranean.
Herbert Hoover, director-general of relief, wrote with like enthusiasm of his subsequent work when in 1919 he was commander of the United States forces operating in the Eastern Mediterranean, saying: "It would not have been possible to have secured any relief to these people but for your co-operation".
In the final years of his naval career Niblack was successively director of naval intelligence, Washington; naval attaché, London; commander of the United States naval forces in Europe, with the rank of vice-admiral; and commandant of the sixth naval district and navy yard, Charleston, South Carolina.
He had been promoted to the grade of rear-admiral in 1918 and was retired in that grade in 1923 at the statutory age of sixty-four.

"Admiral A. P. Niblack directed our forces at Gibraltar to the end of the war, with fine judgment and ability. He and his force became a tower of strength in that region, to the Allies as well as our own Navy". (Josephus Daniels)
On November 24, 1903, he married Mary A. Harrington of San Francisco.
