To the HONOURABLE. Sir Cloudsley Shouel, K^nt. Vice-Admiral of the RED SQADRON Of the Royal Navy of England.

Renowned SIR,

MY chief aim in Publishing this small Piece, is for the benefit of Seamen, who is known to be the chief Bulwark of our Kingdoms, [Page] and upon whose undaunted Courage, Resolution and Conduct, our Liberties and Properties wholly depend; who vindicate our Rights with the expence of their dearest Blood. The undeserved Disappointments they have received, unknown to your Honour, for some Years past; and the many Losses they have sustain'd for want of good Instructions, has induced me to the greatest part of this work, which I hope will be of good use to them if duly applyed.

I don't mean there is any unjust thing put upon them by their Superior Officers, who has a paternal care over them, but [Page] that they have not consulted a due Information for their own Interest.

This I can safely say, the informing of Sea-men was my only aim in this small Piece, when I first set my Resolutions upon it; but having a Manuscript by me, writ by the famous Sir John Narbrough, I was advis'd by some Friends to put some material and useful things therein mentioned, in this, which I have done exactly from the Original.

When I resolved to make this Piece publick, the Epistle Dedicatory was mainly in the choice of a Patron, to testify my esteem of those extraordinary Qualifications [Page] in you, that have gained the Affections of even the best and worst of Sea-men, for whose sakes I have dedicated it to you, who sit at the Helm of their Government, to guide and direct them in their true Course, not doubting but you will accept of the weak Labours of

SIR,

Your Honours most humble Servant, James Lightbody.

THE MARINERS Jewel; OR, A Pocket Companion for the Ingenious. The Introduction.

EVery Artist knows, That the Art of Navigation consisteth chiefly in Arithmetick; and because Decimal Fractions is so much wanting, and so little used amongst Seamen, it will [Page 2] not be amiss to go through all the Rules thereof, and then shew the use of each Rule in its proper place; so that the ingenious Artist may with a great deal of Facility go through that long and tedious Work, often occasioned by Vulgar Fractions: Not but that I leave every Man to his own fancy, to use that which he in his own Opinion thinks best.

It's true, Vulgar Fractions is unavoidable in some Cases, but in that which is chiefly design'd here, Decimal Fractions may be used in every respect easier and more correct than Vulgar.

[Page 3]

CHAP. I. Of Decimal Arithmetick. Notation of Decimals.

A Decimal is that by which is distinguished the Parts of a Unite: And is decreased from Unity to so many Tenth Parts of a Unite. For Unity is divided into ten parts, and every tenth part is called a Prime, every hundredth part is a Second, and every thousand part a third, &c. So as whole Numbers increase by Tens from the Unites place towards the left hand, so Decimals decrease by Tens from the Unites Place towards the right hand, as may appear by the following Example.

1	1	2	3	4	5	6
Unity or an Integer.	Primes, or tenth parts.	Seconds, or hundr. parts.	Thirds, or thous. parts.	Fourths, or 10 thous. pts.	Fifths, or 100 thous. pts.	Sixths, or 1000000 pts.

[Page 4]

For 10 Primes is one Unite, and 10 Seconds is one Prime, and 10 Thirds is one Second, and 10 Fourths is one Third, &c. So that every place towards the left, is ten times less than the preceding Figure: For preponing of Cyphers, lessen the following Figure in a tenfold manner; for (.2) is two Primes, or two Tenths of an Integer or Unite, but (.02) is but two Seconds, or two hundreth parts of an Unite. Cyphers after a Decimal neither augment nor diminish the value of the Decimal.

A Decimal is always distinguished from a whole Number by a Prick or Period, as in the Numbers following.

15.3

365.3

.262

.15

1625.32

273.2

The Numerators are only set down, the Denominators being known by the number of places in the Numerator; for if the Numerator consist but of one place as .1, it is 1/10, if of two, as .22 it is 22/100, if of three, as .235 it is 235/1000, &c.

I shall insist no more upon Notation of Decimals, the foregoing being sufficient, but shall proceed to Addition.

[Page 5]

Addition of Decimals.

Addition is the adding of Sums together, and making one intire Sum of two or more; you must take particular care in placing whole Number under whole Number, and Decimal under Decimal, and Unites under Unites, and Tens under Tens.

Suppose 325.7 were to be added to 463.72, I place them one under another in manner following.

To	463.72
Add	325.7
Sum	789.42

Observe always to prick off as many Decimals in the Total, as there is in any of the Sums to be added together.

Example.

To	365.23
Add	23.20
Add	2.03
Sum	390.46

[Page 6]

An Example of Addition, as to Timber or Board Measure.

Note, That all intire Quantities, as Feet, Yards, Ells, Ounces, Pounds, and Hundred Weights, are divided into a hundred Parts, therefore the one fourth of any one of these is .25, the half is .50, and the three fourths is .75.

There is three Boards of these following dimensions; what is the Sum of Feet and Parts?

	Feet. Parts.
The first Board	246.25
The second	43.50
The third	16.26
The Sum	306.01

The Total Sum is 306 Foot, and one hundredth part of a Foot.

Addition of Mony.

A pound Sterling is likewise divided into 100 parts. So .05 is the Decimal for one shilling, and .10 for two shillings, and .15 for three shillings, &c.

[Page 7]

Suppose I were to add 3 shillings and 4 pence to 2 shillings and 3 pence.

The Decimal for 3 shill. is	.15
The Decimal for 2 shill. is	.10
The Decimal for 4 pence is	.0166667
The Decimal for 3 pence is	.0125
Sum	.2791667

It is very hard for the Learner to know the value of this Total, being he is not come the length of Multiplication, which is the only Rule useful in this case. The general Rule is, every Prime or Unite in the Total Sum is 2 shillings value, and every 5 Seconds is one shilling, and the superplus of the Seconds above 5 is so many ten farthings, and the number of Digits in the thirds place is so many farthings: All the rest of the Decimals to the right being of no value. The .2 Primes in the Total is 4 shillings, and the 5 Seconds of the seven is one shilling, and the two remaining is 20 farthings; the 9 Thirds added thereto makes 29 farthings, which is 7 pence farthing: but by reason the number is above 25, the [Page 8] farthing must be cut off. The sum is 5 shill. and 7 pence.

So much for Addition of Decimals.

Subtraction of Decimals.

Subtraction is the taking a small sum from or out of a greater, as if you would take 7 l. 5 s. 6 d.out of ten pounds 5 shillings and 6 pence, the remainder must be 3 pounds; or if from 265.2, you would take 153.1, &c.

Example.

From 105.25 Foot of Superficial Measure subtract 97.25.

105.25	or from	1035.2
97.25		973.5
8.00		61.7

From .876	From 725.2
Take .324	Take 322.6
Remains .552	Remains 402.6

[Page 9]

Multiplication of Decimals.

In Multiplication of Decimals, the method is the same as in whole Numbers; only you are to prick off so many Decimals towards the right hand in the Product, as there is Decimals in both Multiplicator and Multiplicand: As suppose I were to multiply 26.75 by 35, there must be two Decimals prickt off in the Product, by reason there is two in the Multiplicand.

Example 1.

Of Mixt Numbers.

Multiplicand	26.75
Multiplicator	35
	13375
	8025
Product	936.25

[Page 10]

2531012

3796518

1265506

1898259

206.5305792

[Page 11]

Here you see in the fourth Example, there is in the Multiplicator and Multiplicand 7 Decimals; therefore I prick off as many in the Product as there is in both.

Note, That as whole Numbers multiply'd by whole Numbers in [...]ase their value, so Decimals multiply [...] by Decimals decrease their value, by reason the Product is removed farther from Unity, than either of the Decimals given to be multiply'd, as shall appear by the following Example.

.03	.75	.32
.2	.04	.4
.006	.0300	.128

It will sometimes fall out, that there are not so many Figures in the Product as there are Decimals in the Multiplicand and Multiplicator; in such cases you must place Cyphers before the Figures, till they be equal: As you shall see in the following Work.

[Page 12]

Examples.

.004	.42	6.5	.22
.002	.07	.0002	.4
Prod .000008	.0294	.00130	.088

Devision of Decimals.

We shall in the next place proceed to Division of Decimals, which is the most difficult of all the rest; all the difficulty being to find the true value of the Quotient.

The general Rule is, when you have finished your Division, to prick off so many Figures to the right hand, as will make the Decimals in the Divisor equal in number to those in the Dividend, and the Figures to the left are whole Numbers.

Example 1.

Let 64.326 be divided by 32.4.

32.4)	64.326	(.19
	3192
	2766
	174

[Page 13]

You see in the foregoing work, that there is three Decimals in the Dividend, and one in the Divisor; therefore I make that 1 in the Divisor, and 2 in the Quotient equal to the 3 in the Dividend.

Example 2.

.325)	53.62321	(161.19
	2012
	623
	2982
	571
	246

Example 3.

Let 28. be divided by 32.6

In this Example the Divisor 32.6 is greater than 28. the Dividend; in this and all other such cases, you must place a competent number of Cyphers behind the Dividend; and if it be a whole Number, you are to divide, you must prick off the Cyphers from the whole Numbers and then proceed in your Division as you were to divide whole Numbers.

[Page 14]

32.6)	28.00000	(.8585
	1920
	2900
	1920
	290

Example 4.

To divide a Decimal Fraction by a Decimal Fraction.

Let .900 be divided by .05

.05)	.900	(18.0
	40
	00

Let .9000 be divided by .0005

.0005)	.9000	(1800
	40
	000

Would not one think it very strange a Decimal Fraction divided by a Decimal Fraction, should bring forth a whole Number in the Quotient. But I shall make it very plain, that it must be so and no otherways, by a reasonable Demonstration.

[Page 15]

By the first Example, you see I divide .900 by .05, and the Quotient I find to be 18.0, that is, because there is three Decimals in the Dividend and one in the Divisor, I make up the number of those in the Dividend, by taking one Decimal from the Quotient, and adding to the 2 in the Divisor.

Now the nature of the Question is thus: I desire to know how many times 5 Seconds in 9 Primes? The Answer is 18. For there is 18 times 5 Seconds in 9 Primes.

If it fall out at any time, that there is not so many Figures in the Quotient, as will make these in the Divisor equal in Number to those in the Dividend; then you must prepone Cyphers before the Quotient to the left hand, as in the following Example.

.13779

(.03444

[Page 16]

I shall give you an Example as to the Use and Application of Division of Decimal Fractions, to the end that those who intend to use Decimals may the better understand what they are going about.

Suppose I were to divide 10 shillings amongst 20 Men, the Decimal for 10 shillings is .50; therefore I divide my Decimal .50 by the number of Men 20, and the Quotient will be .025, which is the Decimal equal to 6 pence; for if you multiply .025 by 12, and double the Product, it will be 6 pence.

I could give several Examples of this kind, but the various Examples that will happen in the following work, will in its proper place, give a clearer Demonstration than can be here expected; so I shall refer the Learner to the practice in General, and proceed to my intended work.

[Page 17]

CHAP. II. To find the Burthen, and how to Rigg a SHIP.

BEfore we proceed to the Rigging of a Ship, it is proper we should know her Burthen; they having a dependency upon each other. For you can't know how to Rigg a Ship without you know the length and breadth of her, no more than you can know [...] Burthen; but when she is once R [...]d (if according to Art or Proportion) you may know her Burthen without taking the length and breadth: Therefore I say, we shall begin gradually first to know her Burthen, and so go on.

To find the Burthen of any Ship.

Take the length of the Koel, and the breadth of the Beam, from Plank to Plank, and multiply the one by the other, and the Product multiply by the depth of the Hold; and the last Product divide by 100, and the Quotient is the Burthen of a Ship; or, to save the trouble [Page 18] of Division, cut off two Figures to the right hand of the last Product, and the remaining Figures to the left hand is equal to the Ships Burthen.

Example.

The length of a Ships Keel is	68 Foot.
The breadth of the Beam is	26 Foot.
	408
	136
	1768
The depth is —	12
	3536
	1768
The Ships Burthen is	212.16 Tun

There is several Divisors, as 97. 98. 99. and some use 93. but I am sure that 100 is the most honest and exact Divisor.

The length of the Main-Mast is twice and a half the breadth of the Beam.

Multiply the length of the Main-mast by 8, and divide by 9 for the length of the Fore-mast or Boltspreat.

[Page 19]

The true length of the Fore-mast is 8/9 of the Main-mast.

The Misson-mast is ¾ the length of the Fore-mast.

The length of the Main-Yard is the breadth of the Beam, and ½ the length of the Keel.

The Fore-Yard is 8/9 the length of the Main-Yard.

The Sprit-Sail-Yard is 8/9 the length of the Fore-Yard, the Craggick-Yard ⅖ the length of the Main-Yard.

To find the Lengths and Thickness of Masts and Yards by the Pen.

We shall begin with the Main-mast of a Ship, whose length of Keel is 73. Foot, breadth of the Beam 28.5 Foot, the depth of the Hold 12. Foot.

The only Rule to find the length of the Main-mast, is to add the breadth of the Beam and the depth of the Hold together, and divide the Product by 1.5, and the Quotient is the Yards in length; the Main-mast of the Ship must be,

Example.

The breadth of the Beam	28.5
The depth of the Hold	12.0

1.5)	40.5	(27
	105
	000

The length of the Main-mast sought is 27 Yards or 81 Foot.

[Page 41]

Those that are not very expert at Division, may make use of the following Multiplicator, which will perform the fame as the Division does, and will be a great deal easier for the Learner, if he do but observe to prick off the Decimals to the Right hand, as is directed in the foregoing Work.

Example.

The Sum of the breadth and depth is 40.5, the which I multiply by the proper Multiplicator .6666, and the Product is 26.99730 which is 26 yard, and 99 hundredth parts of a yard, which wants not one second to make it 28 yards, equal to the former Work.

To find the thickness of the foregoing Mast or any other mast of the Ship, you are to take the length of the Mast mentioned in the foregoing Table, and say by the Rule of Proportion,

If 84 give 28 (as in the Table) what will 81 give.

[Page 42]

84	28	81
	28
	224
	2268	(27 Foot.
	588
	000

Here we find the thickness of the Main-mast of the propounded Ship to be 27 foot; now to find the thickness or length of the other Masts of the same Ship.

If for the Thickness of any of the Masts, you must it work by the foregoing Rule, taking out the length of the Mast you require from the foregoing Table; and as the length there requires so much, what will the length found require?

You must find your lengths of the several Masts and Yards by the Rule before directed.

Suppose I was to find the length of the Fore-mast, having the length of the Main-mast; I multiply the length of the Main-mast by 8, and divides the Product by 9, and the Quotient is the length of the Fore-mast required.

[Page 43]

As for Example, the length of my Main-mast is 81 Foot, the which I multiply by 8, and divides by 9, and the Quotient is 72, the length of the Fore-mast sought.

Now, if you would have the length of the Mizon-mast, being that it is ¾ the length of the Fore-mast; you must multiply the length of the Fore-mast by 3, and divide the Product by 4, and the Quotient is the length of the Mizon-mast; the Fore-Yard is in proportion to the Main-yard, as the Fore-mast is in proportion to the Main-mast.

Thus we have inserted most material things as to a Ships Rigging: but because the way here inserted will be troublesome and tedious, unless to some Artists who take pleasure therein, we shall set down a plain and easy way, by which any Ship may be Rigg'd with a great deal of ease: And shall be as follows.

pounds of bread and gallons of beer; which divide by 7, gives the number of 4 pound pieces, of beef, and 2 ll. pieces of pork, and quarts of Peese, which multiply'd by 3, and divided by 8, gives 240 sized Fish (or Gallons of Oat-meal) and pounds of butter, which multiply'd by 2, gives pounds of Cheese.

Note, That for Fish they give Oatmeal.

[Page 126]

Multiply the Number of Men by the number of days you are to Victual, and that gives the number of pounds of Bread or Bisket. Then for Beer, divide by 60 the number of Gallons in a Hogshead, and that divide by 4, gives the number of Tuns: As for Example,

Then for your 4480 pounds of Bread, divide by 7 Four Pound pieces of Beef, and 2 Pound pieces of Pork, and Quarts of Pease (1/7) 4480 (640

Then for your 640 Quarts of Pease, divide by ¼ makes Gallons, and your Gallons divided by 8, makes Bushels.

Then for your 640 Quarts of Pease, multiply by 3, and divide by 8, and it gives you the siz'd Fish, or in lieu thereof as many Gallons of Oat-meal.

[Page 127]

Then for 240 Siz'd Fish, there is also as many Pounds of Butter.

Then for 240 pounds of Butter, twice so many pounds of Cheese.

Upon the passing your Account, you will be allowed a Tun of Cask per month for Water, and 3 Bisket Baggs for a 4th. Rate; for Iron Hoops small Allowance.

Have a care to deduct your ⅛ part as well of Beer, Pease and Oatmeal by measure, as of Butter, Cheese and Bread by weight, to make good your waste, for none dare dispute it without detriment.

If you have any Provisions to spare, or your Eights in England, the Victualler pays, viz.

For Bread	1 d. per pound.
Beer	28 shill. per Tun.
Beef	8 d. per Piece.
Pork	5 d. per Piece.
Pease	2 shill. 6 d. per Bush.
Oatmeal	4 shill. per Bushel.
Butter	3 d. ½ d. per pound.
Cheese	1 d. ¾ s. per pound.

But what they do to the Southward I don't know.

[Page 128]

If your Men have any Provisions to spare that is due, besure not to refuse the buying of it, at such Rates as Mony is to be got by it; as Bread at 5 s. 6 d. per Cent. 112 ll. to the 100; but have a care to reduce it to 16 Ounces to the pound. Beef and Pork at 4 d. per piece, which will turn to account. If you spend Oatmeal, besure not to buy your Men out of it, for that will be loss to you; but if you are to pay first Mony, you will receive 9 d. per Month, which you may buy for 6 d. if you let them have Mony before-hand.

After you have Victualled and Indented, you must set it down in your Book for that purpose, and keep your Debtors part together, that you may give a due charge to the Surveyor of Victualling, when you come to pass your Account.

Provisions you will receive sometimes, which must always be charged to your Debtors part, as also Provisions borrowed from other Ships.

Victualling other Ships Men must be kept an account of, with their true names and time of beginning and ending, and by what order Victuall'd; so that you may discount it with the Purser of that Ship, either by Victuals back, or by Receipts, or Mony paid you for it.

[Page 129]

At all times be careful, and stave no more Casks then necessity requires; for the King pays 5 shill. per Tun for Cooperage, besides what you do your self; for you will rarely find the number of Staves in any Cask, which you must deliver to Tunnage, namely 28 But-Staves to a Butt, 26 to a Punchion, 24 to a Hogshead, and 22 to a Barrel. And note, that two Pieces of single heading makes a Stave, as well Cantle pieces as Middle pieces.

Men will urge you to scuttle Beef, Pork, Pease, Oatmeal, if you'll be ruled by them, but you are sure to pay for all your scuttled 4 d. per Butt, 3 d. ½ per Punchion, 3 d. per Hogshead, and 2 d. ½ per Barrel Staves per piece, which avoid as often as you can.

Keep your Cheque book going, and l [...]t not a Muster be made without your self or Steward, to prevent your Victualling of Men in your own wrong, when prickt by the Clerk of the Cheque; for do not fancy that these stand for a Cypher, for they will out you of all your Provisions.

[Page 130]

You are allow'd 6 d. a Man per month necessary Mony, with which you are to buy Wood, Candles and Turnery-ware.

Your Lading Charges is 2 shill. per mensem. Your Adds Mony—3 shill. 4 d. per Month. You are Allow'd 4 d. per Tun of drawage of the whole Provisions of Beer, all which the Victualler will pay you when you Indent.

You are allowed 8 d. per Man a month Extra-necessary Mony, which you are to receive when you Indent.

If you indent for a proportion of Men under 60, then you are allow'd 9 d. a man a month, but no Adds-mony.

Your under Gauge is according to what your Cask holds, viz.

A Butt	108 Gallons.
Punchion	72
Hogsh.	54
Barrel	36

According to the Gauge, and what is less than there is under Gauge, and what is wanting of your Gauge, the Victualler will allow for it after the rate of 30 shill. per Tun, and sometimes 28 shill.

[Page 131]

Take the Account of the under Gauge as follows, Admit I was to take in 40 Butts or more, set down the number gradually 1, 2, 3, 4, &c. and so to 40, and set the mark on the Head against the Number, then add up all together, and divide the Total by 216, and the Quotient is Tuns.

If you take in Cheshire Cheese for Suffolk, you must allow 3 ll. of Suffolk for 2 pound of Cheshire.

If you take in Flower and Currents for Beef, and for Pork and Pease; you must have 3 pounds of Flower and half a pound of Currents for a piece of Beef, and piece of Pork and Pease.

All this you deliver by weight or measure; you must keep back the 8th. part for Waste; you must take care that the weight be made after the rate of 14 Ounces to the pound, and that measure is 7 Pints to the Gallon.

If at any time you deliver to any other Ship, any proportion of Cask Bags or Iron Hoops, take a Receipt for the same, specifying the particulars in words at length, and deliver none without an order from your Commander, and take a Receipt for the same.

[Page 132]

If you go into any Harbour in the time of your Voyage, and enter into petty Warrant, you are to specify in your Sea-Book the ending of Sea Victuals, and the beginning of Petty Warrant; and the ending of the same, and beginning of Sea Victuals.
