To find the time of high-water at any of the places named in the following table, add the time indicated in the first column of figures to the time of" Moon South," or "Moon on Meridian," found in the calendar pages. If the result is more than 12 hours from noon, the time will be the next day in the morning; and if more than 12 hours from midnight, the time will be in the afternoon of the same day. The tide thus found is the first after the Moon's culmination. The second tide occurs 12 hours and 26 minutes later than the first: .6586 Good Friday To Get Correct Time. When the shadow cast by the Sun reaches the noon-mark, set the clock at the time given in calendar pages of this Almanac, in the column of "Sun at Noon-mark," and it will be exactly right. If a meridian line is used instead of a noon-mark, the passing the lines by the Sun's center is the moment for setting the clock. Any skillful survey or can make a noon-mark or meridian lines of small brass or copper wires. In doing so, he must allow for the variation of the magnetic needle from a true or astronomical north and south line. |
