STEERING BY A STAR.
Bai leva C.n Kwp th* Couruw Bvtlvr Th I*
W«v Thai by a (uiapaM.
In St. Nicholas there is an article on
“Steering Without a Compass ’ by
Gustave Kobbe. The author says:
That tailors prefer not to steer by
compass must Lave struck you as one
curious fact. Here is another. A
steersman can keep hie ship better on
her course st night, if it be clear, than
daring the day “Look ahead, get a
star, and steady her heed by it.” So
says the A. B. of the ocean to the sail
or who has not yet won his degree.
For to the helmemaa the stars are like
the pillar of fire in A-nptnrs. They
are the hands oa the dxsi of the night.
They twinkle "good-evening” tc poor
Jack aa he sit* up aloft or stands at
the helm, and wink “good-morning”
and “good-by” to him with daylight.
It is obvious that the "to" or “off”
movement of a vessel ean be more
quickly detected by a email, bnght ob
ject like a star dead Ahead than by the
monotonous aweeft of the horizon, or
by peering into the eompevs-box. The
same ancient mannwr who told me
about measuring the length of the off
and in shore leg* bf the life of can
dles, told me that oaje, when the oil
in the binnacle-lamp* gave out and he
was steering by a Star, he occasionally
struck s match and looked at the com
pass “to see if the star bed moved
sny.” He was a genuine “sea-cook,”
this ancient mariner, being steward of
the vessel on which I was sailing; and
he would bob up out of the cook's gal
ley amidships like * seal bobbing up
through a hole m the ice, and proceed
to spin yarns
When the lookout sings out, “Lend
ho!” and has replied to the officer's
“Where eway?”a star over the rock or
other danger may be noted and brought
down in line with the point on the
compase, and its proper besring ob
tained.
“The stars,” said a sea-captain to
me, “move apparently from east to
west, so that when we find our first
star will no longer do, we select an
other. Thia is the ca*e with all but
the north or pole star, which is in line
with two certain stars in th* Great
Bear or Dipper, aad the orbit is *o
small that it is a good guide for all
night; and we can evra detect an error
of the oompaee by it”
The north star la of eouree aa true
as, or even truer the* the moet aeeu
rata oompasa. To th- “other things'*
that sailors steer by, the compass is,
however, what steam is to electricity.
To produce aa electric light you re
quire a dynamo; to ~un the dynamo
you nee<l »tw*m, ton may feel the
wm4 oa your moist brow or hand; but
the direutum from w>Urh it Mows you
can—except w case of the regular
trade winds, or unieas you are up in
sea-lore—tell only from the com pas*
Then by sailing does to the wind you
can keep on that course without look
ing at the compaea. But the sailors
naturally have a large accumulation of
weather lore; and ia addition m the
"trade*” there are, except in case of
violent storm*, oertals regularities m
the wind* ia certain part* of the
ooean, and certain other recurring
signs, which the helmsman can utilise,
end which often enable him to dis
pense with the eompaas altogether.
For instance, if m standing south to
round the Hora, you see the “Magel
lanic Clouds'* (bnght patches m the
Milky Way| directly above the ship,
change your course fer the Strait* of
Magellan
