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

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?
