Knots and Hours and a Patchwork of Sayings
A noisy column discusses nautical speed and the knot unit, clarifying that a knot is a speed not a distance. It contrasts nautical terms with land measurements and weaves in aphorisms on haste, love, and common sayings from authors and the era. It closes with an obituary notice and probate details for Giovanni Melise.
