Transcription Notes:
A bent page corner hides the first word of page and the tops of first 3 columns. mandc: "H" = hours from noon, and from midnight (clocks were "set" at noon); "K" = [speed] Knots; "F" = [water depth] Fathoms. First set of 12 "H" are AM hours, second set PM hours. In columns 4 and 5, the "N" for North is illegible, but is identifiable through context.
