¶ 8 Leave a comment on paragraph 8 0 The wheel house for the steersmen (pilot house) is in the stern nearly below deck, instead of near the bow as on all western waters- They run entirely by the compass- Every half hour they (the helmsmen) signal the tone time on a bell- it is repeated on a larger bell (you would think it was large if you were ^then^ half asleep beside it as if often the case with passengers) in the centre of the ship and again on one at the bow
¶ 9 Leave a comment on paragraph 9 0 These “bells” are our clocks- The sailors signals, for changes in watch +c- There are six changes every 24 hours Of four hours each- 12 to 4- 4 to 8- 8 to 12- +c “One bell” at each half hour gives. “8 bells” at 12 0 4- + 8 when they begin at one bell again- One days experience shows one the “hang of it”-
