SIGNALING AT SEA.
Sow Modern Mariners Manage to
Exchange Messages.
~k* Rita oT Bunting Displayed From the
atStlh—<t   of   Vowels    Convey   the
Moaning  to  AU   Matiou-
alitlos—Tho Lookout Una.
Telegraph operator William de la
Motte, stationed at the Sandy Hook
station of the Western Union Telegraph Company, was watching tar in-
ooming vessels oa a bright Monday
morning some few weeks ago. His
eyrie at the top of the eighty-foot
tower, supplied with the necessary
paraphernalia for observation, such as
telescopes, night glasses, rockets and
flash lights, was cool and comfortable.
Below him was the sea, ruffled by a
smart breeze from the southwest. Out
of the haze beyond emerged a full-
rigged ship, with every inch of canvas
spread. On seeing the ship de la
Matte took up his telescope. As he
turned the glass on the ship he gave a
low whistle of astonishment. He left
the glass for a moment, took up a book,
the leaves of whioh he turned over
rapidly. On finding the information
he desired heolosed the volume, threw
it on a chair, and, with his telescope in
aaa hand, sent a message ticking over
the telegraph wires to this city. This
duty over he onco more took up his
survey of the vessel. The cause of his
excite—ent was the sighting of three
email flags fluttering from the vessel's
■main mast. They were flying from the
same halyard, one above the other.
The upper one was a blue pennant,
with a white ball in the center; the
second a square flag, half yellow and
blue, the colors running horizontally,
and the third a red', flag, with a yellow
cross. They formed an ominous signal.
According to the international code of
signals the sentence represented by
those three piece* of colored bunting
was: "Mutiny on board." The telegram sent to this oity by de la Motte
was. to the effect that the ship —— had
passed the Hook flying the signal of
mutiny. On its receipt the police department was informed of the message.
and shortly afterward Captaiu Smith,"
attached to the police boat Patrol, had
his steamer'a nose pointed down the
bay to meet the Incoming vessel.
The system of signaling at sea Is one
whioh remains a mystery to the greater
majority of landsmen. The average
citizen reads in his newspaper that the
steamer So-and-So was sighted by another steamer and reported sickness
aboard, but did not want assistance.
He dismisses all thought of the article
from his mind, or if he gives It asecond
thought he concludes that these two
vessels passed near enough to each
other for„their commanders to hold a
conversation with one another. As a
matter of fact the vessels may have
been ten mile* apart at the time of
meeting, their conversation being car*
ried on by meant of the code signals.
There are but eighteen flags used
by seamen for their talks with one
another at long range. They represent
ail tin letters of the alphabet, with the
exception of the and vowels "x" and
"z." A combination of these letters form
the various sentences found In the code,
and by this means skippers can exchange information with comparative
little difficulty. Another advantage is
that the commander of an English vessel speaking no other language than
his own, can hold a conversation with
the captain of a Russian, Danish,
French or Norwegian vessel. The code
is an international one. and the system
is used by all maritime nations.
The first flag composing this maritime alphabet is a red burgee. It represents the letter B. The letter G is
represented by a white pennant with a
red ball In the center; l>, by a white
ball in the center of a blue pennant. A
red pennant with white ball represent*
the letter F, and a yellow and bine pennant the letter G. The remaining letters are shown by means of square
flag*. H, ia a white and red flag, colors
running horizontally with the white
nearest the balyar-dVJ, a blue, white
and blue flag; K. a yellow and blue; L, a
yellow flag with a blue cross and blue
band running diagonally from corner
to oorner; M, a blue flag with white
lines forming an X; N, alternate blue
aad white squares, somewhat after the
design of a checkerboard; P. a white
flag with blue square ia the center; Q.
a yellow flag; R, a red flag with yellow
cross; S, white with blue square in center; T, red, white and blue bands, with
red nearest the mast; V, a white flag
with red X; and W, a blue, with white
square la tho center, in the middle ol
whioh is another square of red. The
different combinations of these letters
make intelligible the two thousand or
more sentences in the coda.
The flags displayed by the ship on
board of which there was a mutiny
were the letters D K R, Reference to
the above will show what flags ware
hoisted. Not loaf ago a Danish
steamer entered this port, Some time
before she was abreast at the Hook the
operator could see that thc;-e was some-
|hing decided lywrcngv.it lib or. When
her SagBais had beoofhe plain the tno*t
'if**o>.t *Jt *:jar\j aVt1— ..do out;   fae
letters N M were displayed. They
repreoeated the terrible sentence: "I
am oa fire.'1 As in the case of the
other vessel the steamer was met long
before she reached quarantine, by the
lire-boats aad the police-boat/ But It
is oa the high aeae that the display of
the Una and white checker-board flag
aad the blue bunting with white cross
excites dread in the seaman's heart.
Nearly all of the two flag signals ar*
ominous ones.
When two vessels meet at sea and
each is anxious to know who the other
l», the letters B N W are holeted. Tnio
signal is equivalent to the question:
"Where are you fromP" The other
■hip answers, and then up go the signals B P F, ••Where are you boundP"
If the answer is satisfactory to the first,
In nine eases out of ten the signal
BSE, "I have a letter tor you," is run
up. As sdon as the letters are made
out, the vessel signaled to answers
BSM, "Send your letters."
Boats are lowered and away they go,
bobbing over the billows toward the
boat
Signals most dreaded by the health
officers of our port are the letter* U T
M, "Yellow fever." The flying of this
signal soon sends Health Officer Smith
down the bay on the tug Preston.
When he has reached the vessel's Bide
the yellow ensign soon replaces the D
T M. Equally dreaded by the health
people is the combination D T Q,
"Small-pox," or D T R,  'Cholera."
Other contagious disease* are on
board when the flag* D T S are displayed. These letters, however, do
not cause any special uneasiness to the
Health Officer, as it may only bo a case
of mumps.
Skippers are stirred Into activity,
when they sight a sail from whose
masthead fly the letters J T K, "Dying from want of water." Their energies are also pat forward when the
signals J V H, "Want food" -^-can be
made out through their glass. No
uatter of what nationality, these colors
have the same Import to the teaman
who read* them, the blue, white and
blue parallel stripes of the J, the red
X across the white flag representing
the Y, and the white and red H stand
for the same combination of letters in
the Italian tongue aa in the Russian,
German ar English.
Medical aid is often asked for by one
ship of another. The flags F B W
represent the sentence "I want a doctor
or surgeon." F B V calls for "*ui>
goons," FBI for a "nurse" and FB
R for a "clergyman." If the call F
B W is answered by one surgeon and
he finds that he wants aid, whether
from his ship or from the shore, the
flag* F C M indicate to tho watchers
that "surgeon wants assistance."
Vessels have left this port In apparently good condition, and when out a
few hours, or mayhap a day at sea,
they spring a leak. If not too far
from the Hook they usually run under
the shadow of the operator's tower,
ohowiag the signals B J W, •■leak."
When they have become satisfied that
the signals have been seen, the flags
ar* taken down and the letters H V B
run out. These call for "assistance.''
Before the latter arrives the skipper
may have to resort to another change
of signals. They are B K M, "leak
increased," or one which gladdens the
owners as well as the seamen aboard,
BEN, "leak stopped."
The sight of a dismantled hulk rising sad falling on the swell* It always
one that make* the ocean traveler become philosophic. Rigged from a Jury
mast, he may see three colored flags
flying, which to him mean nothing, hat
to the captain signify a great deal, and
causes that functionary to issue orders
whioh soon sends one or more boats
skimming toward the wreck. The
flags which the captain ban sighted are
the letters B K R, "I am waterlogged;
take people off." A signal fraught
with as much meaning is the one B L
D, "I am a complete wreck." If there
has been any trouble about the reading
of the flags, the letters C W F Indiqate
"Signal not understood," or C W J,
"You have misunderstood signals."
As signal flags can only be, depended
upon when their colors, erfe distinctly
visible, an important opportunity far
communicating at tea is often lott because distance or haze prevents the
signals from being made out. A soda
of distant signals ha* therefore been
introduced into uee with a View to sup.
ply what is obviously a defect in existing codes. This code is merely a combination of a black ball and flags of the
same color. The sentences are made
up in the same way. as those
with colored flags, the,/ relative
positions of the ball aad flags ' indicating the signal Intended. Here are
four of these signals: The ball hoisted
above a black pennant indicate* that
the vessel signaled to Is "running into
danger." The bail hoisted above a
square flag Indicates the BOOtOBOO,
"Fire or leak; want assistance.'1 The
ball below the pennaat indicates that
the signaler is "short of provision*;
starving." A square flag above tba
ball indicates that "I am aground; want
aasistsBoe." Aa endless combination
of these represent all that men at pea
desire to tay to ono another.'
All sort* of business transactions
ajg» carried oa by meansof tafM
Steamer* nave oome to 00048* HOOK
laden with coffee. The owaers knowing that they ootild get a higher price
tar the vessel's cargo la Europe, telegraphed the Western Union operator
at Sandy Hook to told the veaeeVfaT
order*. This wa* dune by mciui* of
flags. At the end of the dsy th- signal
came from the tower. "Go to E ./land,
Queenstown." Aad Once nam the _
vessel's prow It turned toward the opea
ess. Before going ohe would display
the signals P D S, "Report ma to
Lloyds."
In addition to the code signals, eaeh
vessel has her own private signals rap.
resenting her name. Every veaoel as
she is launched is given a set of letters e
by liar respective government. No
other vessel flying that government's
flag has the same combination of tatters. As a result, when a vessel enters
any port displaying her private signal*
beneath her national ensign, no mistake as to her identity oaa ha mad*.—

Who Are the Lead-Eeade ?
.   Tho breezy writer of "Gossip" in the
'larrisburg Telegraph hae had an cxper.
ieneo in this line Which induce* him to
write in this fashion :
Gossip from time to time referred to the
practice of people who runs fairs, bazars,
balls, picnic* and other amusements, have
>f ornamenting tickets sent to the news-
•aper offices with the word "compliments-
•y" In large, coarse, handwriting,, at if
a "Xious to make it as prominent a* po*si»*
le that newspaper people are dead-heads.
There is one man who knows that newsp*-
lapers generally give a hundred fold for
anything received by them, and that the
compliment Is onjtheir side sad he la ana
of the managers of the Henry CountO/,
O.iio, Fair. He claused to be printed oa
t ie press tickets the following: "This
ticket, probably, has been paid for ton
times over by the paper to which It Is issued. It will be honored in the bauds of.
any man, woman or child, White, black,
rod or yellow, who favors the association
by presenting it. It is good for entrance
and grand etand, and the bearer, if driving, will be eutitled to pats a team Ana.
i'he association recognizes the feat that
tt splendid success is owing largely if not
wholly, to the notice so freely given by
the press, and while we cannot render aa
equivalent In cash, we return our grateful
thanks."   Now, that is^something like it.
