LOG BOOK OF THE "ST. PETER" 



^ June 7, 1741. After Midday 



8 Throughout the log of the St. Peter, the course from one noon position to the next 

 and the rhumb from Vaua are expressed, as here, in whole points of the compass modified 

 by that portion of a point (11° 15') needed to define the course exactly to the minute. 

 Thus, SE/E 3* 42' E, expressed in azimuth, would be 123° 45'-3° 42' = 120° 03'.
