THE SPEED OF A SHIP

METHODS BY WHICH ITS KNOTS PER HOUR ARE MEASURED,

an Interesting Description of the Mechanism and Use of the Log, With a Truthful Red Sea Shark Story At- tachment,

‘‘How do you ascertaia the speed of a vessel?’ isa question frequently ad- dressed to naval men, and an explana- tion will therefore probably be of inter- est to many readers. There are several pethods, the commonest and most an- cient being by the use of the ‘‘log.’’ This instrument consists of three parts —the logship, the line and the marks, The logship is a piece of wood ahout half an inch thick and shaped likea quadrant, with a piece of lead let in round the circular edge to make it float perpendicularly in the water. Itis slung by lines at each angle, the three lines being joined together about two feet from the logship. Two of the lines are securely fixed to the ship and the other bas a bone peg at the end, which, being pushed intoa hole inthe ship, tempo- rarily fastens it there.

From the point of juncture of the three lines a sufficient length is measured, generally about 100 feet, to take the logship well clear of the ebip’s wash. This is called the ‘‘stray line’’ and is marked with a piece of bunting. From the bunting is measured 47 feet 3 inches, and the line marked here with a piece of leather. Then another 47 feet 3 inches is measured off and marked with two knots, then another space the same length, and marked with three knots, and so on as far as seven knots. Halfway between each batch of knots one single knot is made. The log line is then ready for use.

The space between the knots is found from the simple little ruleof three sum: As 8,600 seconds (number of seconds in an hour), 28 seconds (length of sand- glass), 6,080 feet (number of feet ina nautical mile); length of line required —which works out to 47 feet 3 inches.

To use the log four persohs are re- quired—two mento bold the reel on which the line is wound; the quarter- master, to hold the glass, and the mid- shipman of the watch, to heave the log. The last named puts the peg firmly in the logship and then gathers three or four coils of line in his band, sufficient to admit of the logship being thrown well clear of the ship. He asks, ‘‘Clear glass, quartermaster?’’

‘‘Olear glass, sir!’? comes the reply, and overboard go the logship and line, the reel rapidly revolving. Presently the middy feels the piece of bunting passing through his hand, and he gives the order, ‘‘Turn.’’ The quartermaster turns the glavs and watches the sand while one ‘‘reeler’’ holds the ree! well over his head, go as to give the line fair play. When the sand has run out,

‘‘Stop!’’ cries the quartermaster.

The midshipman grasps the line, as- sisted by the other reeler, and looks for the nearest knot, finding a single one close to hishand. Then the line is haul- ed in, and four knots appear, which eignify that the ship is going four and a half knots through the water. The jerk of the line draws the peg from the logship, which now floatson its flat side and is easily hauled in. When a ship is going over four knots, a 14 sec- ond glass is used, the speed being double that shown by the knots on the line.

Another method in use is the patent log. This is altogether mechanical and consists of along cylinder with clock- work inside it and four fins on the out- side. It is towed astern of the ship by a line made fast to a swivel in the head of it. Asit is dragged through the wa- ter the four fins make it revolve, actu- ating the clockwork inside, which regis- ters on a series of dials the number of knots run. This log has to be hauled in every time «“e wants to read it, but there is another kind where the fan is towed astern and the dial isa fixture in the ship. This is called a ‘‘cherub.’’

These logs are not always accurate, and are constantly verified when near land by cross bearings—that is, the bearings of two well known points are taken, and the position so obtained is marked on the chart, the time of obser- vation being noted and the reading on the oat-nt log. After an interval has elapsed the position of the ship is again taken by cross bearings, when the straight line joining the two places on the chart will show the direction of the course steered and its length the distance run. A comparison with the readings by patent log will give the error of the

machine.

Te finish here isa patent log yarn, as told by an old messmate. I give it in his own words: ‘‘ When in the Crocodile in the Red sea, just after taking the reading one night at 8 o’clock, the quartermaster reported, ‘Shark taken the patent log, sir!’ I got another one over at once. At 9:30 next morning we stopped for half an hour. To amuse the

On opening him we found our patent og, and,’’ he added gravely, ‘‘strange to say, it registered the same as the one in use. The line had jammed between his teeth, the fam working all the time ke followed the ship. He had swum just 122 7-10 miles.’’—Navy and Army Llustrated.
