The Speed of a Ship and a Timely Log Story
A lengthy older text describes the ship log method and its gear the log line knots and sand glass timing then contrasts with a clockwork patent log including the cherub variant and cross bearing checks A naval anecdote follows about a shark swallowing a patent leg while a midshipman records the distance run and the log readings linking to an old mariner tale plus a brief advertisement for eye care and unrelated medical notes.
