(1) A Ship sailing 7 miles an hour by log, in a current on her port beam, whose drift is 6 miles in 4 hours. What Course must she steer to fetch Tynemouth Light, the direct Course to which is N. W. by W., distant 30 miles. (2) A Ship in lat. 54° 30′ N., long. 0° 37' E., is bound to Hartlepool; the tide is setting N.E. by N., with a drift of 3 miles in 2 hours, and the Ship's rate by the log is 10 miles per hour. Find the Course to be steered to reach her port. (3) A Ship sails by log 9 miles per hour, in a current 2 points abaft her starboard beam, drift 3 miles per hour. Required her Course to Sunderland when Tynemouth Light bore N.W. by W., and Whitby Lights bore S.W. PROBLEM, TO FIND THE SHIP'S DISTANCE FROM A POINT OF LAND, OR A LIGHT, WITHOUT A TABLE, This Problem is of great service when sailing up or down Channel, or along any coast, and is as follows: Suppose Beachy Head bears two or three points on the port bow, then let the Ship keep on her course till it bears the same number of points to the left of the first bearing; the distance the Ship has run in the interval is her distance from the light at the time of taking the second bearing. Let A be a Ship steering East; B a Light bearing three points on the port bow, that is, N.E. by E.; she proceeds on her course till the Light bears three points to the left of N.E. by E., that is, N.N.E.; then C B is equal to C A, by 6th Proposition, 1st Book of Euclid.
