Referring to the aiming-off technique, Hewitt Schlereth wrote- | Then there's Erskin Childer's novel The Riddle of the Sands, in which aiming | off plays a crucial part. I used to know that tale well, but last read it many years ago. It would be useful if Hewitt reminded us of the episode in which it played a crucial part.
