Lloyd Marks Explained.
Instead of the initials "L. R." over
the white line that denotes the load
! line on the plates of nearly every.
British steamship that enters this
| port, the British liners have Lhe ini-
tials "B. c." Everyone knows, of
course, that Il. r.. means 'Lloyd's
Register" but some are unfamiliar
with the significance of "B. c." The
large and free-speaking longshoreman
says the two letters stand for the
same as for, instance the letters be-
fore the date of the landing of the
Romans in England. People on the
1 waterfront who lack the abundant
sense of humor possessed by the
| longshoreman will tell the credulous
person that the letters mean British
Corporation"
