\9 FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 9,18G6. [From the Temple Bar Magazins.] LLOYD'S. ..Tho Bold Buccaneer 'spoke' the Lively Nancy." Thc newspapers say this or some? thing very like it ; and they tell also of the Bold Buccaneer speaking many others, aud of tho Lively Nancy being ''spoken" by many in turn. These and other ships are. in fact, speaking on all the oceans and seas; and although their language is a very quiet one, it is expressive for the immodiate ob? ject in view. Dipping a little deeper, a reader finds that tho newspapers are indebt? ed for this information to a mysterious being "named Lloyd, whom nobody ever, sees,, but every one talks about ; who is re? puted to keep a coffee house, though no one would know where to find it ; who keeps a List aud a Register, but does not sell any? thing at his coffee-house, or entertain any guests. The preliminary condition of all this sup? ply of ship news is, that every ship must have a name, an appellation which will dis? tinguish her from all other ships. The necessity for this is felt for ships almost as much as human beings, ' and has been ac? knowledged almost from the earliest times. Aa a shipowner is under little or no con? trol in the matter, the variety of names be? comes something rather formidable. In Roman Catholic countries the names of sain?T are largely adopted as the names of ships-more generally, however, in past times than at present. Among the forty or fifty thousand vessels that now hoist the British flag, penetrating into every sea and almost every river in the world, either for warlike demonstration or for peaceful com? merce; what a medley ?f names we meet with ! The surname and christian name of the owner of the ship ; the christian names of his wife, sons, and daughters, or of his sweetheart if he be a bachelor; the names of royal aud high-born personages ; thc names of men who have rendered themselves fa? mous by deeds of arms or services in states? manship ; the names of women who have gathered a halo around them by their deeds of goodness ;-all arc among the items open to the sponsors of ships. And so are the names of jewels, stars, planets, plants, birds, fishes, insects ; of oceans, seas, gulfs; lakes, rivers; of countries, continents, isl? ands, mountains, valleys ; of volcanoes, geysers, avalanches, torrents, rapids, cata? racts ;-all are looked upon as fair game. The characters in Shakspeare's plays sup? ply a goodly variety, as witness MacdufT, Othello, Desdemona, Hamlet, Ophelia, Ro? meo, Juliet, King Lear, Cordelia, Cynibo lino, Imogene, Portia, Prospero, Miranda, Caliban, Oberon, Titania, Puck, Ariel, aud Hotspur. In a similar way thc characters in popular npVels, poems and songs have, been invited ^to the christening. What may be called fancy names-the Flying Foam, the, Happy-go-lucky, the Saucy Jane, the Lightning Flash, the Good Intent, the Little Wonder, and the like-are in great' request. AU this is very well so loug as the owner is concerned only with his own ship ; but when ho wishes to exchange kindly services with his brother shipown . era, to give and receive information relating to tho wants and whereabouts of vessels at sea, then it becomes a matter of import? ance that confusion should bc avoided in the identification of the several ships. The Victoria, for instance, is of course, a very good name for a ship belonging to a loyal Englishman ; bat what if there be ten, twenty, or fifty ships of that name ? The Victoria of Liverpool is more precise ; but the difficulty is not wholly removed even now, for there is a plurality of Victorias at that famous port. If wo were to say Mes? srs. Cotton & Bale's merchant ship Victo? ria of Liverpool, the designation would be como too.clumsy and lengthy for conve? nient uso in signaling. But how about Lloyd ? Who is Lloyd ? and what has he to do with ships and ships' names ? The truth is, marine insurance is the link of connection here. Nearly all ships belonging to the Mercantile Marine, though none belonging to the Royal Navy, aro insured against the varied dangers ol' tho seas, cither by individual capitalista, known as underwriters, or by joint stock marino insurance companies. During thc latter half of the last century, ono Mr. Lloyd ] kept a coffee house near the Royal Ex- j change, much frequented by city men, not simply for tho bevcrago which gave it a ' name, bnt RS a place of meeting for the transaction of business. We have many such now-Garraway'a, the Baltic, thc Je? rusalem, the South American, &e. One room iu this coffee house was appropriated to thc use of a committee of underwriters as a place of meeting. Hence Lloyd's, or Lloyd's coffee house, became known to all city men as a place connected with tho in? surance of ships. Lloyd in due time was gathered to his fathers, and thc coffee house tiisappeared to make way for new streets and handsome buildings ; still the name ohing to the society, and has clone so ever since. For a time tho meetings were held at the South Sea House ; but since the new Royal Exchange has been built, the socie? ty has occupied a set of rooms in that build? ing The members aro not merely under? writers. More than a century ago a socie? ty of underwriters wa3 formed, and about eighty years ago a society of shipowners. In 1834 a new Lloyd's was formed by com? bining underwriters, shipowners, insurance brokers, and shipping merchants in oirc so? ciety or committee. The old Lloyd's, or Underwriters' Society, held mainly in view the preparation and annual publication of a Register of British merchant shipping, no? tifying the age, burthen, quality, and con? dition of all the vessels. This Register is of great convenience to underwriters and ship? owners, in establishing the equity of the terms of insurance for any particular ship. Tho members of Lloyd's pay an annual fee, for which they have thc uso of an under? writer's room, a captain's room, a reading woe*, aa inquiry office, and other apart menta. The affairs arc managed by a < mittee, comprising equal numbers of g owners, underwriters and merchants, primary object of all tho members alik to give what may be called a charack every ship in the British merchant sen an estimate founded on her size, sh build, materials, age and condition, merchant can thus tell whether a shi which his goods are about to be place likely to be trustworthy, or has a "g character ;" an underwriter can tell v?h era sb ip which he is about to insure she pay a high or low rate of premium higher accordiug to its age or unsou ness ; and shipowners can tell what ou to be thc relative values of different si by the same test. To ascertain the chai ters of ships iin this way is a formida work. In the earlier days of thc syst tho committee classified ships merely I cording to their ages and the places wh ! they were built ; ranking as "first-cla those built within a certain numbei years, and "second-class" those older tl this limit. Or, more precisely, they w divided into classes A, E, I, and 0, acco ing to the ago of the hull, and into s classes 1, 2, and 3, according to the riggi But this rude method has been superset by one more reasonable and discriminati: ! which would take the actual present con I tion of the Bhip into view ; seeing tha ' sound, substantial old ship is more wort I of respect than a cheaply built new o Surveyors are appointed by Lloyd's Co mittee at all the chief ship building po to report upon the ships. As it is optioi with every shipowner whether ho will 1 long to Lloyd's or not, so is it free to h to determine whether his Bhip shall und go this scrutiny ; but he can obtain beti freights and easier insurance if his sb ( ranks well at Lloyd's and therefore it usually worth his while to pay the fee i curred for this purpose. The survey ascertains the age of thc vessel, the kind timber mostly employed in her constrv tion, the style of build, tho wear and te she has received, the amount and kind repair she has undergone, and her prese condition. All these particulars are taki into account in giving ber a rank or poi tion. The phrase or designation Al, f anything that is first-rate of its kind, is bc rowed from the phraseology of Lloyd Register. A kind of biography of evei ship is kept up ; for as in the natural cour; of things age brings on deterioration in ship, the rank in 1865 may not bethe san as in 1864. Thc surveyors record the surveys sufficiently often to make the register truthful as concerns thc actual coi dition of thc ships. Lloyd the mysterious becomes, thei practically a book-a register with wilie the general public have not much to do containing items of information concernin a ship's owuor, captain, port, age, materiali state of repair, &o. Or rather, this is om half of Lloyd, who has a sort of mystic? double existence. The other half consist of a List, known equally by Lloyd's nanu .Shipping intelligence is obtained from al most overy port on the globe by agents ii correspondence with Lloyd's, notifying th arrival and departure of all ships, ship "spoken with" at soa, and ships wrecked o damaged. This information is regular! booked, and is afterwards published a Lloyd's List. Most of the ship news in tb daily papers is obtained from this List Lloyd's Register and Lloyd's List belong ti and are managed by two different commit tees, but they are both emanations of tin one great invisible Lloyd. A ship "Bpoken with" at sea 1 It is ? curious proceeding, whether regarded ir connection with matters ashore or matten afloat. Not only is it important for sh\\ owners, shippers, underwriters, and th? relatives and friends of passengers anc crews, to know something of the wherea bouts of a particular ship at a particulai time, but the captain of a Bhip may anxious ly desire to give or receive some informa tion or make Bomo request. How is this U bo done, wheu ships pass each other on th< ocean ? I'hey cannot with safety, anc without losing time, approach sufficientlj close for the captains to converse viva voce even wiLh thc aid of a mammoth speaking trumpet. This could bo done by the Siby and tho Syren when they pa?s each othei on their voyages to and from Greenwich i but on tho broad and rough ocean it is ? very different affair. The talking is car ried on by flags. Flags of different shape.1 and colors arc hoisted ; and the order ii: which they are shown indicates the ship's name, or any one among a large number ol phrases, Beuteuces, questions and answers A very elaborate code or vocabulary is ne? cessary for the working out of such a sys? tem. In 1854, a Mercantile Shipping Act was passed, which, among other things, re? quired that every merchant ship in the Bri? tish Empire should havo a particular num? ber, which Bhould belong to it irrevocably, aud should be different from the number belonging to any other ship. There were 35,000 British merchant Bhips then exist? ing ; and as a thousand or BO are added every year, to meet thc demands of increas? ing commerce, and to replaco old ships bro? ken up, the-aggregate must now bo greatly over 40,000. The official number for each ship under the control of the Board of Trade is marked on tho mainbeam, and written on tho certificate of registry, and the owner is not allowed to change it. If ship No. 36,425 meets ship No. 40,377 on the ocean, each captain wanta to know the number of the other ship ; he ascertains it, and then, by referring to a code or vocabu? lary prepared by the Board, he can tell the name of the ship, the tonnage, and the port to which she belongs. True, he can tell this if he ascertain the number ; but there is the difficulty. Ingenious men have de? vised systems of exhibiting flags in such ' modes as to denote numerals. At least a dozen such systems have been adopted, each inventor, of course, insisting that his was the best. The Board of Trade, in 1856, appointed a committee to examine all these systems, with a view to determine which was the best, or whether a new one could be devised better than any of them. The inquiry resulted in the preparation of a Commercial Code of Signals, which is now used by the Royal Navy as well as by the Mercantile Marine. Tho Board of Trade determines what shall bo thc official num? ber of each ship, but the Commercial Code determines how to express this number by letters and flags. The Talavera of Liver? pool, a sailing vessel of437 tons, may change owners, or may change ports ; but she will always, as long as she remains on the Regis? ter of British Shipping, be the Talavera ; she will always have the 0,999, and this number will always bc represented by the flag signal KLQ N. The Clara of Glou? cester, as another instance, whether Bhe changes owners and ports or not, will con? tinue to be the Clara, with the number 12,345, and the signal L B K W. *Yery signal nag represents a letter, and the new Code has eighteen consonant letters repre? sented by an equ?I number of flags. Showing not more than four flags at a lime, there aro nearly 00,000 different permutations or ways in which ttiey may be arranged. Schoolboys will under? stand tbis when they bear in mind their famous problem about the persons who sat down to din? ner in different order every day ; and lock pickers will understand it when they count up the mil? lions of ways in which a puzzle-look may be ad? justed. If wo were to add tho groups vf Ave flags at a time, the number of permutations would be more than a million. The authorities have agreed that 80,000 will be enough for Bil praotioal purposes ; and there caa actually be nearly 80,000 different and distinct signals made by means of eighteen flags, nevermore than four fl iga hoisted at a time. The flags are of three different shapes: ti e Bquare flax, about 8 feet by 6 ; tue burgee, a square flag with a sort of notch in the front eda e; sud the pendant, a triangular strip, 15 feet long by 5 at the broadest end. They differ stdl mure widely in color and pattern ; red all over, a red spot on a white ground, blue and white stripes, two ver lioal stripes of blue and yellow, a blue croas on a white ground, a white square spot on a blue ground, a blue square spot on. a white ground, two vertical stripes of red and white, a white orosB on a blue ground, vertioal stripes of red, white and blue, and BO on. Each flag has al? ways the same symbolic meaning ; thus a pen? dant or elongated triangular flag, with a red spot on a whiio ground, always meaus O ; but what G means, the Code or Vooabnlary determines. The committee appointed by the Board of Trade reported that any good code of s?gnate should ''afford a ready means ot" making known to signal stations, or whou ship* pass each oiher at tea, tho identity of particular vessols, so that their progress and whereabouts may, bo correctly re? ported ; of communicating at sea the wants and wiabea of masters or captains ; and of extending the means of intercourse to tho vessels of all coun? tries, by the establishment of au international code of signals." Accordingly, tho 80,000 possible C'lmhinutiouB above adverted to are made availa? ble for a large budget of sea gossip. There being eighteen flags, there may be eighteen signals of one il ig each, and it is arranged that ihese shall -ignifv such useful littlo words aa "Yes," ,,No," &o. The groups of two flags eaoh amouuttotwo or three hundred varieties, and furnish many sig? nals useful on shipboard ; such, for instance, as at? tention HUH demand signals, of whioh ''Show your ensign," and "Pay attention," ar? examples; sig? nala tu denote the points of the compass, mid sig? nals of distress on chipboard, such as "On fire," .'Fire gainH rapidly," &o. The groups of three flags oach furnish varieties amounting to some thousands- iU number. First ouuea a serie? rela? ting to many of the troubles incident to ahippiug, ab tndonniout of ship, ship aground, capsizing,, collision, dismasting, fringing a leak, water-log? ging, <tc. ; then a scries relating to news, news? papers, letters, dispatches, maila and the like; ?loxt. a series of questions and information con? cerning orew, captain and passengers ; chun anoth? er relating to ship's place, ship's reckoning, nau? tical instruments, observation'* and the like; then a, series of short phrases bearing relation to a ship's fittings, provisions, engines, aud boilers ; and lastly, another concerning anchorage, sound? ings, lights, landmarks, buoys, beacons, pilotage, steering, tidis, currents, and other matters rela? ting to the coming cf a ship to harbor-all theso expressed by hoisting three flags, varying in shape, clor, pattern and arrangement. The groups of four flags are, however, the most im? portant of the whole, seeing that th ev amount to domething lik 70,000 in numb-r. Here it is that we fiud the official numbers of ships symbolized signs hy which Wi- nuy identify evwy ship m ih British Empire, whether belonging to the Ro\ al Navy or to the Merohaut Service. Thane, ss we tuve said, art? between 40,000 and 50,000 iu num? ber ; and after tb,ny are autictted, there ure many thousand un tpprpriated groupings of fiar fiVs, available for signaling other mattet B relating to Shi..s and i heh employment. Thor? are file? names of places, inlands, sea", headlands, ka , all over the world ; there ic a very extemfvo vocabu? lary fifi wor e, phrases anti sentences uat fm in maritime mttteis; ?tiri there isa lise or snort syiltbles. available; iu tho construction or words not in the V' Oablulary. Aud thus it is that some menning or oilier is attaolied toalm?Bt".every pnu ciblo combination of ino flags, in groups of one, two, three, or four each. But, it i>.ay bo asked, h iw do Hie sailors, cap? tains aud signalmen kn"W tho exact lueauing of every coni'iinatmn nf flags? Caa they commit 70.000 i-igualo and ootuiuiiatious to nvm >ry ?
