Example.

Suppose the ship to be running on an E.S.E. course,

1st bearing of object to be N.E.

2nd " " " N.

And ran in the interval 3 miles.

Therefore difference between N.E. and E.S.E. is 6 points, or A, and difference between N. and E.S.E. is 10 points, which, subtracted from 16 points, leaves 6 points, or B.

∴ log. required dist. = log. 3 + log. sin 6 points

− log. sin 12 points, or

− log. sin 4 points, for

whenever an angle is more than 8 points or 90°, it must be taken from 16 points or 180°.

Log. 3 .. 0·477121

Log. sin 6 points .. 9·965615

       10·442736

Log. sin 12 points .. 9·849485

       0·593251 = 3·92 miles

or nearly four miles at the time of taking last bearing.
