Signaling at Sea. - -
The custom of signaling at sea by
means of various colored flags Is very
ancient and tbe method seems to. have
been brought to a degree of develop
ment bordering very closely on perfec
tion. ..Many people bare been astonish
ed at the length of messages conveyed
in a Tew moments nnd with the use of
but half a dozen flag in vurlous com
binnt'loiis. and when ibe extent of .the
language anu the complexity of many
oecessiiry messugeM are considered the
elgbteeu flags In tbe signal ting icii kei
aeem very Inadequate. However.,! It .
must be remembered that tlte slgmit
code dtillzes a sort of short biiud and
many long' messages, known to be of
frequent occurrence, have been con
tracted to a single showing of flags
In a given combination. Tbe number
ol flags hoisted when a signal Is made
never exceeds four. Wltb tbe eighteen
flags of various colors, using four for
each signal no fewer than 78.C42 com
binations can. be made.
