Most people call a sea mile a knot and vice versa, In fact, so usual has this practice become that even modern dictionaries and reference books make the same' statement. This means that we give the word Idiot two totally different meanings, which is awkward, not to say foolish. Properly speaking, a knot is not a measure of distance- at all; a knot is a'measure -of speed. Giving the word its only proper meaning, to say a ship does .50 many "laiets per hour" is just as silly as saying -a motor does so many "miles an hour per hour:" What a sailor means by a knot is one sea mile perr. Tho error is seen if we look at the origin of the word. The speed at which a ship is moving is ascertained by "heaving the log." A "log" .(spe- cially shaped, is thrown over the stern. To the log is attached a linea Upon this line at equal distances are knots. The distance between any two knots is the distance the ship would move if travelling at the rate of one sea mile . per hour during, say, thirty seconds of time. When taking the ship's speed one man attends to the log line, while m„ second man turns a saird-glass which measures the time, As soon as the sand -glass • has run out the log is stop- ped. By counting the number of knots which have passed overboard in the time, the speed of the ship is !frown Thus, if ten knots have run out the ship is travelling at ten sea miles par hour. A sailor says she is "doing ten knots." A sea -mile is one -sixtieth part of a degree. Its length is 2,025 3-5 yards. As we know a Statute mile (land mile) is only 1,760 yards, so that a sea mile is 265 3 -5th yards longer than a land mile. Try Talking Protection.
