"LLOYD'S." |j
A MAKITIME KY-TBBV EXPT.AIXEO, h
All newspaper readers aie familiar ! s
with the allusions made in tho commer- I '
cial and ship news columns of newspa- ' '
pera to "Lloyd's;" and they will proba
bly be glad to learn fioiu 'Temple Bur I '
who and what "Lloyd" X
1 'The Bold Buccaneer 'spoke' the Lively ' '
Nanoy." The newspapers -ay this, or '
aomething very Ilka it; and they tell ; '
also of the Bold Buccaneer speaking
many others, and of the Lively Nanoy ' '
being "spoken" by many ir turn. These
and other ships are, in fact, speaking on I
nil the oceans and seas ; and although I :
their language is a very quiet one, ii i- '
expressive for the Immediate objeoi In j
view. Dipping a little deeper, a reader '
finds that the newspapers arc Indebted
fortius Information to a mysterious be» |
ing named Lloyd, whom nobody ever '
sees, hut every one talks about ; Who is j
reputed to keep a ooflbe-house, though ]
no one would know whereto i'md it: j
who keeps n Inst and a Register, bull
tloes not sell anything at bis coffee-house
or entertain any guests,
The preliminary condition t<> all thla i'
supply of ship news, ia that every ship i '
must nave a *»a*ne—an appellation which ; '
will distinguish her from ail other ships, i '
The necessity for this Is felt for ship- al
mostas much aa for human being-, and '
has been acknowled almost from the '
earliest times. Asa ship-owner is under j '
little or no control in the matter, the va* i
ricty of names Becomes aomething rath-1
ci' formidable. In Roman Catholic ; I
countries the names of saints are largely J '
adoptetl as the names of ships—more :■ - '
nerally, however, In past times than al j
present. Among the forty* or tifty thou* ' !
Mad vessels that now hoist the Biiti=h '
flag—penetrating Into every sen nnd al- .
must every river hi tlie world, either for
warlike demonstration or for peaceful
Commerce —what a medley of names we
meet with! The surname and Christian '
name ofthe owner of the ship; the
Christian names of his Wife, sort* and
daughters, or ot his sweetheart If he be j
a bachelor; the names of royal and
high-born personages; the names ofthe :
.nen who have rendered themselves fa
mous by deeds of anus or services in [
statesmanship; the names of women j
who have gathered a halo around 'hem j
i.y their deeds of gnodneaa; all are
among the items open to the apousors til [
ships. And so are the names of jewels
stnrs, planets, plants, birds, fishes, in
sects ; of oceans, seas, gulfs, lakes, rivers,
of countries, continents, islands, moun
tains, valleys; of volcanoes, geysers, I
avalanches, torrents, rapids, cataracts ; I
all are looked upon as fair p;niue. The I
characters in Bbakapeare'a plays supply
a goodly variety, aa witness Macduff,
CKnello, Desdemuna, Hamlet, Ophelia,
Romeo, Jiifiet, King Lear, Cordelia,
Cymbellne, Imogene, Portia, Prospero,
Miranda, Caliban, O heron, Titania,
Puck, Ariel and Hotspur. In a similar I
way tho chaiaeters i.i popular novels,
poems antl songs have beeninvltedto the I

names, the Flying Foam, the Happy- j
go-lucky, the .Saucy Jane, the Light
ning Flash, the Good Intent, the Little I
Wonder, and the like, are In great re ■
finest. All this is very well so long as
the owner is concerned only with his !
own ship; but when he wishes to ex j
change Kindly services with his brother !
ship-owners, to give and receive in for j
mation relating to the wains ami the
whereabouts of Vessels at sea, then it be
comes a matter of Importance that con
fUaiOU should be avoided in ihe klentiil- j
cation of the several ships.
WHO LLOYD V.'AS.
The writer of this entertaining article j,
then proceeds to tell his readers some- j,
thing about the personality of Lloyd:
During the latter half of the last ecu- j
tury, one Mr. Lloyd kept a coffee-house !
near the Royal Exchange, much fre- j
ipuented by city men, not simply ibr the j
beverage which gave it a name, but aa a
place of meeting for the transaction of
business. We have many such now— I
Gangway's, the Baltic, the Jerusalem, |
the South American, &c. Oi.e room in j
thla coJßfee-house waa appropriated tothe ; ;
use of a committee of under** ritera as a j
place of meeting. Hence Lloyd's, or { ;
Lloyd's Coffee-house, became known to ( '
all city men aa a place connected with i
the insurance of ships. Lloyrd iv due
time was gathered to his fathers, and (
the coflee-house disappeared to make J
way for new streets a ml hands ime build*
ings; still the name clung to tbesoclety,
antl has .lone so ever-iuce. Foratimo :
the meetings were held at the South Sou j
House, but since the new Royal Ex
change has been built, the society haa '
occupied a set of rooms in thatbuildlti'*.
The membera are not merely underwri
ters. More than a century ago a |! -
ciety of underwrite*- was formed, and
about eighty years ugo ;t society of ahip
ownera. In lS'i4 a new Lloyds was
formed by combining iHf_erwritere,
shipowner's, insurance-brokcisand:ship
ping merchants in one society or com
mittee. The old Lloyd's, or tfnderwri
ter's Hociety, held mainly In view the
preparation and annual publication of a ]
register of Ltritish merehanl shlpplug.
imiifyingthe age, burthen, quality and '
condition of all the vessels. This regis- '
ler is of great convenience to underwrl- '
ten andabipownsra tn eatabllahlng the
equity of the terms of Insurance for any t
particular ablp. >
Tlie members of Lloyd's pay an an- ; l
nuul fee, tat which they have the use pi I
an underwriters' room,aca;.tains' room,
a reading room, an inquiry office and i
other apartments. The affairs are man- I
aged by a commiitee, comprising : '
numbers of shipowners, uiitUii writers i I
and merchants. The primary object ol i
all the members alike is, to give What ; ]
may be called a character to every ship . I
■j u fin) iiililell iiicicltallt ServlOt ,an ls- :
lluiate founded on her size, Bhap*, build,
materials, age, and condition. A mer- i
chant can tiius fell whether a ship in i
which hiago.-.'lsore about to be placed i
Is likely to be trustworthy, or has a "gocd i i
character;'' an underwriter can tell I'
whether a ship which he is about to iv 1
sure should pay a high or low rale of ;.
premium-the higher BaWrdlng to lis :
age or unsoundness; and shipowners!
can tell what ought to be the rehttive
values of different ships by the same
USt ' AS IN'OESIOUS STSTEM.
To ascertain the characters of ships in
this way is a formidable work. In the
earlier days of the system the commit
tee classified ships merely according to
their ages and the places whole they ,
were built; ranking aa " first-class •i
thoae built within a oertaln number of i
years, and ".second-class" those older
than Uiis limit, Or, more precisely i
they woro tlivideil Into classes A, E, I, |
aiul'O, according to the age of tlio hull, ; i
and Into a_b-elasses l, 2, and :', accord-. i
Ing to the rigging. But thi"* rude me- j
t1i...1 has been superseded by one more j i
reasonable and discriminating, which 1
would take the notual present oondltlou i
of tlio ship iulti view; seeing that a
soiintl, •übatantial old ship in more wor>
thy ot respect than a oheaply built hew .
one. Surveyors are appointed by It
Lloyd's Committee at all the chief ehlp- i
building ports to report upon the snip--. I s
A* it is optional with every ship-owner \ \
whether ho will belong to Lloyd's or ; t
not, soli is free to biro to determine I j
whether bki ship shall undergo this j
scrutiny; bill he can obtain bettor | f
i freights and easier insurance If his ship i
: ranks well at Lloyd's, and therefore it t
i- usually worth his while to pay the .
I incurred for thin purpose. The survey- j
or ascertains tho ago of the vessel, the i
' kind of timber mostly employed in her -
1 construction, the style of build, the .
1 .veai' and tear she has received, tlie i
amount and kind of repair site baa un- >,
dergone, mul her presenl condition. —
All these particulars are taken Into ac- t
count In giving hor a rank or position, i
I The phrase or designation AI, for any- x
J thing that Is flrst-rato of its kind, ia t
borrowed from the phraseology of .
Lloyd's Register, A kind of biography I
of every ship Is kept up; for. as in the i
nntiimf coarse of tilings age brings on <
deterioration In a ship, the rank in 1863 j
may not be the same ;.- in 1864. The
surveyors record their surveys suffl- i
clently often to make their register \
truthful as concerns the actual condition
of the ships.
LtOTD'fl 1.1 I
Lloyd, tlie mysterious, becomes, then, 11
practloally abook -a register with which \ .
the general public has not much to do—
containing items of information con-! i
corning a ship's owner, captain, port, i
age, materials, state of repair, i*c. Or i
rather, this is one-half of Lloyd, whu !
his a soil of mystical double existence,
the other half consists of a List, known
equally by Lloyd'a name. Shipping in-1
! tclligenoe is obtained from almost every
I port on the globe, by agents in corres
i mdsHios with Lloyd's, notifying the
arrival and departure ol all ships, ships
!•• spoken with " at sea, ami ships wreck- '
iad tn- dama-fed. 'i'lus Information i
: regularly booked, and ia afterwards pub- '
ilaued as Lloyd & Liu. "dost of the ."hip
new; in the daily papers is obtained ]
I from tbia List. Lloyd's Register and
Lloyd's List belong to and are managed
'by two different oommltteea, but they '
i are both emanations of tlie one great, t
invisible Lloyd.

Flags of different shapes ami colors are
hoisted ; and the order in which they

any one among a large number .if
phrases, sentences, questions and an- i
swere. A very elaborate node or voca-1
j buhii.v is necessary fbr the working oul
jof each a system. * In l?-3l a mercantile j
j aliipping act was passed, which, among j
other thin":*., required that every mer
ohaut ship in the British empire should I
j have a particular number, which should

to meet the demands of increasing coni-
I rnerce audio replace old ships broken
up, the aggregate must now be greatly
over 40,000. The official number for
i each ship under the control of the Board
|of Trade la marked on the main beam,

i and the owner is not allowed to change
! it. If ship No. 80,425 meets ship .No.
iO 877 on Uie ocean, eaoh captain wants

!he ascertains It, and then, by referring i
jto a code or voeabularly prepared by the j
board, he Can tell the name of ihe ship, I

I belongs. True, lie can tell this il be as
[ certain the number j but there is the
! difficulty. Ingenious men have devised
1 1-y-t'in •of exhibiting Qsga of bucli
I modes as to denote numerals. At least
| a dozen such syslema have been adopt
ed, each invent r, of course, insisting
j that his was tne best. The Board of
trade, in 1869, appointed a committee to
examine all these systems, with a view
to tii'icriiiiiio which was the best, or
whether a new one could be devised bet
ter than any of them. The inquiry re-1
suited in the preparation ofa commer- i
clal code of signals, which (a now usi '
Iby the royal navy as wellasthe raercan- ,
■ tile marine. The Board of Trade tlcter- ,
ml net what will be official number of ;
eachshlp. but the oOmmerclel code d -
tennlnea how to . sprees this number by
letters aud Bars. The Talavera, of Liv
erpool, a >alllngvessel <>ft; 7 tons, may
change owners or may change portsj
but she will always, as long as she re
mains ..ii ihe Register of British thlp- ,
piti'j, In? the Talavera; she -will always ,

ter, ns another instance, whether she '
changes owners and porta or not, will i.
continue to be the Clara, with the mint- ,
ber_*Vß4s, and the signal L B W.
Every signal-flag represents a letter, 11
anil the new code has eighteen const- ]
nant letters, represented by an equal
no in ber of Saga. Showing not more i
tliaii 'our flag* at a time, there are uear* t
