Σελίδα 626 - ... the difference between this logarithm and the next greater, and multiply it by the given number exclusive of the four first figures ; cross off at the right hand of the product as many figures as you had figures of the given number to multiply by ; then add the remaining left-hand figures of this product to the logarithm taken from the table, and to the sum prefix an index equal to one lese than the number of integral figures in the given number, and you will have the sought logarithm.
Σελίδα 142 - ... altitude must have happened at all the three points and at Small's light, and at the ship, at the same instant of time ; and it followed, that Small's light must bear ENE, if the Chronometer was right. Having been convinced of this truth, the ship was kept on her course. ENE, the wind being still SE, and in less than an hour, Small's light was made bearing ENE }^E., and close aboard.
