A great sea chest stood open in the center, and allround upon the carpet were little piles of jerseys, oil-skins, books,
sextant boxes, instruments, and sea-boots.
Her manner was so straightforward and honest that I could not bring myself to believe in her duplicity; yet--Thinking to surprise her into a betrayal of her guilt, I blurted out: "The chronometer and sextant were both destroyed last night; there is a traitor among us." But she never turned a hair by way of evidencing guilty knowledge of the catastrophe.
I told him to do so; and then I set to work improvising a crude sextant with which we finally took our bearings in a rough and most unsatisfactory manner; for when the work was done, we did not know how far from the truth the result might be.
First, greater indications of periodontal disease (i.e., deeper PSR probing depths) in specific
sextants were expected to be related to poorer OHRQoL.
TABLE 3: DISTRIBUTION OF TOOTH SURFACE LOSS BETWEEN DENTAL ARCHES
SEXTANTS (SEGMENTS)
The distribution of the periodontal status of the subjects according to the mean
sextants showed that the healthy
sextants were maximum in the younger age groups and gradually decreased with age (Table 3).
Currently stashed in the offices of an art gallery, the relics include model ships, maritime paintings, barometers, telescopes,
sextants, gold nuggets and even a copy of the insurance policy for the Titanic's hull (Atlantic Mutual cut a $100,000 check to cover its share of claims.) But the most valuable bit of loot may be the 342 leather-bound volumes that represent possibly the most extensive record of U.S.
Indentation like a crater, gentle slit like glacial rift-- now we make holes, to look like wells to ten-thousand-years-from-now
sextants, and violence, to them, may not be lamentable, it may be itself lament.
More than 30 nautical and maritime artefacts will be showcased at South Tyneside College, including ship models, celestial globes, chronometers, azimuth compasses,
sextants, octants and backstaff dating from 1730 to the 1920s.
The Lo-Tech Navigator discusses how to build and use simple compasses,
sextants, and other simple tools that can cultivate navigational skills while saving hundreds of dollars.
Why are old almanacs left lying around the navigators office and why did one navigator claim there were no other
sextants in the navigation office when he discovered the one he had was less than satisfactory?
The distribution of the periodontal status of the subjects according to the mean
sextants showed that the healthy
sextants maximum in the younger age group and gradually decreased with age.
Before the global positioning system (GPS) was invented, the
sextant was the primary tool used for navigation.
