And because the windmill at ( is in a per-pendicular direction to the line AC in tin; point R, measure thedistance from thence to that windmill, noting it down also in yourbook. 5. Continue the measuring of the line AC from U to-wards C, observing, if the edge of the water is not parallel to theline AC, to measure the distance in a perpendicular direction as lliesmall perpendiculars c, 6, c, 8jc. but be sure to remark the <lis- taiice .S I • K (: I.
