APPENDIX B.—No. VIII.

Table for Finding the Distance of an Object at Sea.[1]

To use the Table, let an observer from the cross-trees measure the angle between the distant horizon and the enemy's water-line, and look into the Table with that angle; opposite to it, in the column marked distances, will be found the distance of the object in yards.

Yards.Height of the Eye above the Level of the Sea, in Feet.
