In "Paul Revere's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the signal referred to lamps. Someone would put up one lamp if the British were approaching to attack on land and two lamps if the British were going to attack from sea. People in the villages and farms could prepare the best attack if they knew where the British were approaching from.
