Pole-star
Source text
Section titled “Source text”Each competitor is given a long straight stick in daytime, and told to lay it due north and south. In doing this he may guide himself by sun, moss, or anything he can find in nature–anything, indeed, except a compass.
The direction is checked by a good compass corrected for the locality. The one who comes nearest wins.
It is optional with the judges whether the use of a timepiece is to be allowed.
