"'TAE MarRINE. REVIEW By CLARENCE E. LONG 43 Marine Review Course Finder Contains All the True and Mean Correct Magnetic Courses; True and Correct Magnetic Bearings of the River and Harbor Lighted and Unlighted Ranges for All the Lakes; also a Simple Method for Shaping and Making These Courses by any Compass and for any Boat A volume that is new and original. Not to be compared with any- thing now on the mar- ket. A book that is of practical need. Can be used on every boat and at every hour of the day. Contains no dry nursing like other publications with sim- ilar titles. No other work can take its place. It is the only work of its kind. No master, mate or sailor should be without it. It will save you much anxiety and relieve you of much__ responsibility. It might be the means of keeping your boat off the rocks and the saving of dry dock bills. It is easily un- derstood and_ thor- oughly practical. Is correct both theoret- ically and practically. The Narine Review Cou s- Finder is a book that should in- terest eve.y master, mate and sailor on the Great Lakes. It should be particularly inter- esting on account of its great practical util- ity and the simple manner in which it can be used. It will be found to be the greatest help and aid to any man who is in command, or on whom the shaping and setting of courses devolves. It answers the same purpose on the small boat as on the large boat. In fact, it applies wherever lake navigation is ap- plicable. We send this book on approval to respon- sible parties. PRICE $2.50 A FEW THINGS THE COURSE FINDER WILL DO The mean correct magnetic course from Chicago to Pt. Betsey isNxE%E. The correct magnetic bearing of the light on the SE end of Chicago break-water in range with the light on the Chicago Waterworks crib is N % E. To make good this course place your boat on this range and when steady note the course by compass, and then port %%-point from whatever the course shown when on with this range will take you to Pt. Betsey. Buffalo to Long Pt. same course as shown when in range with Buffalo Lighthouse and Waverly Shoal Gas Buoy. No matter what the course may be by com- pass when your boat is steady on the above range the course then shown by compass is the one you will have to steer in order to fetch Long Point correctly. SE Shoal lightship to Cleveland, starboard 4-point.from the course shown when inrange with Chicago SE breakwater light and Four- Mile crib; or starboard \%-point from the course shown with Poverty Island Gas Buoy in range with Poverty Island lighthouse; orstarboard %-point from the,course that takes you from Old Mackinaw to Cheboygan light- house; or starboard 4-point from the course shown when head- ing on}\St. Mary's River Up- -- per Range. BOOK DEPARTMENT Penton Publishing Company, Cleveland, Ohio In conjunction with the Course' Finder there is a Deviation Log Book, . which gives all the _ river Tanges just as your compass should read if it were | correct. There are blank spaces after each range for recording the compass reading when on the range. This is all the data required for using the Course Finder. An auxiliary to this is a Deviation Diagram,the compass straightened out instead of circular. Every river range that conforms to a certain bearing by compass is printed over its equiv- alent line on the dia- gram, so that all that is necessary for getting a full deviation curve is to put lay off on the proper line how much your compass is "off" and draw. a_ curve through them. There is a book of explana- tions with practical ex- amples for illustrating the diagram. Follow- ing isalist of the works together with the price of each: Course Finder $2.50 Dev.
