Log-line. a small piece of red bunting laid into that line at a certain distance from the log, the space between them being called the stray-line, which is usually from 12 to 15 fathoms, and is an allowance for the log to be entirely out of the ship`s dead-water before they begin to estimate the ship`s velocity, consequently the knots begin from that point. (see log-line.)
