   Log \Log\, n. [Icel. l[be]g a felled tree, log; akin to E. lie.
      See {Lie} to lie prostrate.]
      1. A bulky piece of wood which has not been shaped by hewing
            or sawing.
  
      2. [Prob. the same word as in sense 1; cf. LG. log, lock,
            Dan. log, Sw. logg.] (Naut.) An apparatus for measuring
            the rate of a ship's motion through the water.
  
      Note: The common log consists of the log-chip, or logship,
               often exclusively called the log, and the log line, the
               former being commonly a thin wooden quadrant of five or
               six inches radius, loaded with lead on the arc to make
               it float with the point up. It is attached to the log
               line by cords from each corner. This line is divided
               into equal spaces, called knots, each bearing the same
               proportion to a mile that half a minute does to an
               hour. The line is wound on a reel which is so held as
               to let it run off freely. When the log is thrown, the
               log-chip is kept by the water from being drawn forward,
               and the speed of the ship is shown by the number of
               knots run out in half a minute. There are improved
               logs, consisting of a piece of mechanism which, being
               towed astern, shows the distance actually gone through
               by the ship, by means of the revolutions of a fly,
               which are registered on a dial plate.
  
      3. Hence: The record of the rate of ship's speed or of her
            daily progress; also, the full nautical record of a ship's
            cruise or voyage; a log slate; a log book.
  
      4. A record and tabulated statement of the work done by an
            engine, as of a steamship, of the coal consumed, and of
            other items relating to the performance of machinery
            during a given time.
  
      5. (Mining) A weight or block near the free end of a hoisting
            rope to prevent it from being drawn through the sheave.
  
      {Log board} (Naut.), a board consisting of two parts shutting
            together like a book, with columns in which are entered
            the direction of the wind, course of the ship, etc.,
            during each hour of the day and night. These entries are
            transferred to the log book. A folding slate is now used
            instead.
  
      {Log book}, [or] {Logbook} (Naut.), a book in which is
            entered the daily progress of a ship at sea, as indicated
            by the log, with notes on the weather and incidents of the
            voyage; the contents of the log board.
  
      {Log cabin}, {Log house}, a cabin or house made of logs.
  
      {Log canoe}, a canoe made by shaping and hollowing out a
            single log.
