“On a watch or greenback there are sometimes eight or nine numbers, which can be followed as easily as the above.
“The table of colors is as follows:
Colors.
| 1 | is | White. |
| 2 | is | Black. |
| 3 | is | Blue. |
| 4 | is | Brown. |
| 5 | is | Red. |
| 6 | is | Green. |
| 7 | is | Yellow. |
| 8 | is | Gray. |

“‘What is the color?’ green being the sixth color in the list.
“Blue is wanted, and, as it stands third in the list, the word would be:
“‘Can you tell the color?’
“White is wanted, and, as it stands first in the list, the question is:
“‘Say the color.’
