During
this
day
the
novice
threw
the
log
every
half-hour
,
and
he
noted
the
indications
furnished
by
the
instrument
.
As
to
the
instrument
which
bears
the
name
of
compass
,
there
were
two
on
board
.
One
was
placed
in
the
binnacle
,
under
the
eyes
of
the
man
at
the
helm
.
Its
dial
,
lighted
by
day
by
the
diurnal
light
,
by
night
by
two
side-lamps
,
indicated
at
every
moment
which
way
the
ship
headed
--
that
is
,
the
direction
she
followed
.
The
other
compass
was
an
inverted
one
,
fixed
to
the
bars
of
the
cabin
which
Captain
Hull
formerly
occupied
.
By
that
means
,
without
leaving
his
chamber
,
he
could
always
know
if
the
route
given
was
exactly
followed
,
if
the
man
at
the
helm
,
from
ignorance
or
negligence
,
allowed
the
ship
to
make
too
great
lurches
.
Besides
,
there
is
no
ship
employed
in
long
voyages
which
does
not
possess
at
least
two
compasses
,
as
she
has
two
chronometers
.
It
is
necessary
to
compare
these
instruments
with
each
other
,
and
,
consequently
,
control
their
indications
.
The
"
Pilgrim
"
was
then
sufficiently
provided
for
in
that
respect
,
and
Dick
Sand
charged
his
men
to
take
the
greatest
care
of
the
two
compasses
,
which
were
so
necessary
to
him
.
Now
,
unfortunately
,
during
the
night
of
the
12th
to
the
13th
of
February
,
while
the
novice
was
on
watch
,
and
holding
the
wheel
of
the
helm
,
a
sad
accident
took
place
.
The
inverted
compass
,
which
was
fastened
by
a
copper
ferule
to
the
woodwork
of
the
cabin
,
broke
off
and
fell
on
the
floor
.
It
was
not
seen
till
the
next
day
.
How
had
the
ferule
come
to
break
.
It
was
inexplicable
enough
.
It
was
possible
,
however
,
that
it
was
oxydized
,
and
that
the
pitching
and
rolling
had
broken
it
from
the
woodwork
.
Now
,
indeed
,
the
sea
had
been
rougher
during
the
night
.
However
it
was
,
the
compass
was
broken
in
such
a
manner
that
it
could
not
be
repaired
.
Dick
Sand
was
much
thwarted
.
Henceforth
he
was
reduced
to
trust
solely
to
the
compass
in
the
binnacle
.
Very
evidently
no
one
was
responsible
for
the
breaking
of
the
second
compass
,
but
it
might
have
sad
consequences
.
The
novice
then
took
every
precaution
to
keep
the
other
compass
beyond
the
reach
of
every
accident
.
Till
then
,
with
that
exception
,
all
went
well
on
board
the
"
Pilgrim
.
