Finding the way at sea depends on two
methods, each of which is theoretically
complete in itself-dead reckoning and
tion may be prevented by thick weather,
the second method may fail throughout Y
voyage or during the critical parts of it
when land is approached. Thus dead
reckoning, on which in many cases the
the most scientific captains may have to
trust, must be considered first.
Dead reckoning (why called dead" ]
do not know nor greatly care) depends on
the determination hour by hour of the di.
rection and velocity of the ships motion,
and the determination thence of her posi-.
tion after each days various movements
Ii we know ships position at a given
time, say at noon on July l, and she sails

we can calculate her position at the end
of that hour, subject to the action Of cur
rents. Since the rate and direction Of
currents arc mostly known we can take
this particular cause Of motion into ac-
count. Thus we can mark in on our chart
the position, of the ship at the end Of the
hour So at the end of the next interval
of time during which her course remains
unchanged and so forth-till finally we
determine her position at noon on July e.
This is not necessarily or probably twen-
ty.four hours from noon, July 1, as in the
new position now attained there is differ
ent local time, earlier If the ship is west
of her former position, later if she is east
Of it. Going on in this way day after

her in charge thus find their way from

right, practically there are Difficult les.
The circumstances which render dead

navigation are unfortunately numerous.
