This code forms a ready means of communication between ships at sea and between ships and shore signal stations, and as it has been translated into various foreign languages, messages can also be sent from British to foreign vessels. A system something similar to the above is used in the British and foreign royal navies; the flags, how- ever, are in some cases different in colour, while in our Navy, besides many special flags, there is a flag for every letter of the alphabet and a flag and a pe...ndant for every numeral from o to 9 inclusive. Signals for use at night, in olden days, consisted, as I have said before, of guns or lights. In a dispatch written by Lord Nelson on the eve of Trafalgar, and intended for the frigate shadowing the enemy's fleet, occurs the following : " If the enemy are standing to the southward or towards the Straits, burn two blue lights together, every hour, in order to make the greater blaze. If the enemy are standing to the westward, three guns, quick, every hour.
