When the mariner has been tossed for many days in thick weather and on an unknown
sea, he naturally avails himself of the fist pause In the storm, the earliest glance of the un.
to take his latitude and ascertain how far the elements have driven him from his true course.

we are now.-DAMI&L WSUSyc.T
