Initially, they were unaware of the barbarity taking place on the other islands and sent pre-arranged smoke signals announcing their finds.
Early means of communication over a distance included visual signals, such as beacons, smoke signals, semaphore telegraphs, signal flags, and optical heliographs.
Semaphores were able to convey information more precisely than smoke signals and beacons and consumed no fuel.
We had no flares or smoke signals that worked.
Smoke signals, for instance, are to be considered semaphore, not telegraph.
Smoke signals were made to communicate with families and groups a long distance away, as burning spinifex produces a strong black smoke.
Some of the smoke signals rising from the king's own camp appeared to confirm the grounds for an optimistic prognosis.
