[Boston Transcript.)
In vtew of the many first-class lines now
crossing the Atlantic, the question that at
first suggests itself upou seeing a steamer
in the distance Is: To wliut line does she
belong? Is she an Inman, Guion, White
Star, or Allan boat, or is she a Cunnrdcr?
To the uninitiated all steamers look alike
at sea, and it is frequently a puzzle to the
passengers to understand how tho officers
can tell so readily on being asked—even if
the strange steamer be passed at night—
to what line she belongs.
Each line has a distinctive “funnel
mark” by which its steamers can be told
by day, and a distinctive kind of firework
signal by which they can be known
by night . When you see a
steamer whose funnel is two-thirds
red, with a white band and a stack
top, you may know that she is an “Allan
Liner.” If at night she sends up blue,
white and red rockets in succession she be
longs to the same line.
1 Au “American” line steamer will have
a funnel, the lower part of which is red,
with a white keystone painted on it; above
these will bo a narrow white band, with a
black top. The nigh} signal is first u red
light, followed by a Roman caudle throw
ing six red balls, and then another red
light
If a steamer’s funnel is buff, with a
black top, she is a “White Star” boat,
and her night signal will be a green light
and a rocket throwing two green stars.
When you see a black funnel, with a
white band about a third from the top, if
will show an Indian steamer; and a night
signal of blUo lights forward and aft, with
a red light on the bridge nnd a variegated
rocket, will tell yoa sho belongs to the
same line.
The Cunard line l» known in the day
time by a red funnel with a black top, and
at night by two rockets and blue lights
simultaneously.
If the funnel is black, with a red band
two-thirds of tho way up, it is that of a
