Wilson, Alastair (22 July 2009). "'Knots an hour'". The Kipling Society. Archived from the original on 18 June 2013. Retrieved 1 December 2012.

It was therefore inevitable that Kipling's frequent use of this expression should grieve a number of seafaring readers, as the pages of the Kipling Journal testify.
