London Coflw Ilouse For Marine IiiMurance It Will Now Accept RIhIsh Ajrninst Almot Anything Under the Sun Llodys is a name known in every comer of the globe But there are probably few outside the shipping trado who if asked What is Lloyds could give an intelligent answer to the ques tion Lloyds was originally a coffee houso in Tower street London kept by a very enterprising and wide awake man whose establishment was much fre quented by merchants engaged in the shipping and underwriting trade Ma rine insurance had been first introduc ed into England by the Hause mer phmits and bv the Lombards who en joyed for a considerable time a prac 1 tical monopoly thereof Queen Eliza beth nut a stop to this however At the time of her war with Spain she or dered ail foreign traders to quit her dominions and not long afterward caused Sir Thomas Gresham to devise an act sanctioned by parliament es tablishing marine insurance on a legal basis this being the first mention there of in the statute book of England The merchants and brokers engaged in this branch of commerce used to meet in the various coffee houses of the city and by the end of the seventeenth cen tury Edward Lloyds establishment had become their favorite trysting place In 1GSS his name appears in the London Gazette in connection with an advertisement offering a reward for any one giving information to Mr Ed ward Lloyd at his coffee house in Tow er street as to the whereabouts of a man who was wanted on a charge of theft By 1G92 his business had prospered to such an extent that he moved to the corner of Lombard street and Ab church lane all his customers follow ing him while in 169G he went so far as to produce a news sheet called Lloyds News containing all sorts of information particularly relating to shipping calculated to be of interest to the people who gathered each day at noon at his coffee house Unfor tunately the seventy seventh number of his paper which he issued three times a week contained a paragraph condemning certain proceedings in the house of lords relating to shipping and the result was that he was arrested summoned to the bar of the house fined and compelled to abandon the publication for a time In 1721 how ever it was resumed under the title of Lloyds List and has appeared uninter ruptedly from that time until the pres ent day being with the exception of the official London Gazette the oldest English newspaper in existence The next half century saw the grad ual crystallization of the Society of Underwriters and Merchants which had its headquarters in Lloyds coffee house into a clearly defined corpora tion Lombard street was left for Popes alley in 1770 whence four years later Lloyds moved to the Royal Ex change where it has ever since had its home This step was immediately fol lowed by an immense expansion of in surance business due in a measure to the succession of wars in which Eng land was at that time Involved Not merely ships of the English mercantile navy but also men-of-war and even merchantmen belonging to the enemy were all insured at Lloyds If the risks were great the premiums were high and the scrupulous care with which Lloyds always punctually ful filled its obligations its triumphal is sue from the ordeals of several par liamentary inquiries and above all the active role which it assumed in nation al and patriotic movements all con tributed to establish its hold upon the good will of the people Thus It was Lloyds which first initi ated that lifeboat service which has been adopted by every civilized coun try in the world boasting of a sea board and it was Lloyds name that figured for 10000 at the head of the subscription list for the building of the first lifeboat ever launched Indeed for a quarter of a century the entire lifeboat service of the United Kingdom was maintained by Lloyds until It was taken over by the National Life boat institution Again it was Lloyds which originated with a subscription of 100000 in 1803 that patriotic fund which is still in existence and which has provided for the welfare of the widows and orphans of those who have lost their lives in the naval or mili tary service of their country besides caring for men who have wrecked their health or who have been crippled while fighting Englands battles In 1871 Queen Victoria affixed her sign manual to an act of parliament providing for the organization of Lloyds In its present form It com prises about GOO underwriting and about 200 nonunderwritlng members besides about 500 annual subscribers The underwriters pay an entrance fee and an annual subscription and to place their credit beyond a doubt they are required to deposit as a minimum 25000 security with the committee Membership of Lloyds is most jealous ly guarded Candidates must come be fore the committee with the written recommendation of six members and prepared to answer all questions of whatever kind put to them The elec tion takes place by ballot and for seven days previous to its occurrence the name of the would be member must have been posted In the so called chamber of horrors The object of the corporation as proclaimed by the 1S71 act of parliament is first the carrying on of the business of marine Insurance by the members of the so ciety second the protection of the In terests of members of the society In MjiiMAfiiUiniiTrtiP i I t - inn itfcd J rfWrtftrffaM W ftr respect to shipping cargoes and freight and third the collection publication and diffusion of intelligence and in formation with respect to shipping It is especially for this latter under taking that Lloyds Is admirably equip ped It has thousands of agents spread over the seaports In every quarter of the globe who are In con stant communication with the office In London which day and night throughout the year is open for the reception of news Appointed by the committee carefully chosen for their trustworthiness these agents dispatch every item of Information of interest to the shipping community to Lloyds by the quickest possible route tele graphic or otherwise The arrivals and departures of vessels from the various ports the fact that they have been sig naled at sea the occurrence of wrecks and casualties are known at Lloyds within an incredibly short time a shipwreck being often announced within fifteen minutes of its happen ing while prior to the establishment of telegraphs the government was j largely dependent upon Lloyds for early news as to what was going on in the various parts of the world All this intelligence thus gathered and re ceived is at once embodied for refer ence in the Index a gigantic com pilation comprised In twelve folios aud kept for consultation in the reading room Thanks to the Index an under writer can learn by a search which is only a matter of moments where and in what condition is every vessel In the British mercantile marine and a great number of foreign ships Indeed the movements of some 100000 craft are chronicled in these volumes from hour to hour by a large staff Side by side with the Index is Lloyds Cap tains Register a biographical dic tionary of all certificated masters of the merchant service containing every detail of their careers since the time they received their certificates By or der of the government all information that reaches tire state registrar gen eral of shipping aud seamen is at once furnished to Lloyds so that the dic tionary in whicli over 70000 pages are posted up in the course of the year is as complete and as perfect as un ceasing revision can make it I may add that there are about 40000 certifi cated masters of the British mercan tile marine In classifying and registering ships Lloyds uses various marks and signs Thus ships in the first class are noted by the distinctive marks A 1 But if the ship is set down as A 1 at Lloyds it means that the vessel is not in good order and not a satisfactory risk Therefore the addition of the words at Lloyds is a stigma of inferiority and ma- be taken as an indication that fur or information of a detrimental character will be furnished regarding the hip in question at Lloyds It would require too much space to give in detail here the meaning of the vari ous letters and abbreviations used by Lloyds to designate the rating of the ship without exposing themselves to legal action by the owners but I may merely mention that the addition of a Maltese cross signifies that the vessel has been built under special survey and is therefore a particularly safe risk On the ground floor in a special room is installed an inquiry office at which the friends and relatives of those that go down to the sea in ships can learn without charge whatever is known at Lloyds of the whereabouts and safety of the vessels which carry their hus bands their brothers their sons or their lovers Close by is the chamber of horrors where the telegrams giv ing details of all disasters are posted up whence the name of the room Although primarily organized with a view to marine insurance Lloyds ex tends its operations to all sorts of other risks Indeed it will underwrite al most anything It will Insure against burglary against its raining on a cer tain day In fact a mere enumera tion of the most curious risks would be a wearying task When insurance is effected at Lloyds the procedure Is dif ferent from that of an ordinary Insur ance company for Lloyds does not Insure as a body the business being done by individual members These members split up the risk Each takes a small portion only thus insuring sta bility by the extension and consequent curtailment of the risk as far as each individual is concerned The names of these members are indorsed on the policy together with the amount of risk undertaken They are written on the policy one under the other hence the term of underwriter New York Tribune The Ineoldshy Leprends The author of The Ingoldsby Leg ends was Richard Harris Barham a clergyman of the Church of England who was born in 1788 and died in 1845 He was entered at St Pauls school London and while there formed a friendship with Mr Bentley his con nection with whom In after life was the means of giving to the world through Bentleys Miscellany the mirthful and marvelous Legends on which their authors fame securely rests In 1S21 he was elected to a mi nor canonry in St Pauls which was the turning point in his literary life as it occasioned him to reside in London In 1S37 Mr Bentley brought out his Miscellany In which Mr Barham began the Legends under the nom de plume of Ingoldsby His Incognito could not be long preserved and he was soon hailed by his assumed name In literary circles as often as by his own The flexibility of the English tongue was never displayed to greater perfection than in these mirthful pro ductions But Mr Barham was not without higher poetical qualities The last lines he composed As I lay a thynkynge are exquisitely beauti ful Chamberlains Cough
