At 7 p. on the 12th this Russian Steamer in about 12° 25′, 111° 10′ was very near the centre. At 7 p. the entry was inade: NW 10, 29.49; but the barometer has not been compared here. There was a heavy and continuous downpour of rain without thunder and about 7 p. a calm of 3 or 4 minutes duration.
At 10 a. on the 19th November the barometer reached a maximum 29.97 at Bolinao, where light land and sea breezes (SE in the morning and NW in the evening) prevailed. At 10 a. on the 20th the barometer had fallen (Bolinao: 29.84 SE 1 c.) The barometer was steady in southern China (Hongkong 30.10 E 4 ov) The weather was cloudy, warm and rather dry.
At noon on the 19th the ship Helen Brewer in 15° 50′, 127° 36′ had a fresh NE gale, which sprung up during the morning. At 1 p. (barometer 30.02) it rose to blow a strong NE gale. She was hove to under spanker, foretopmast staysail and mizen topmast staysail. At noon on the 20th in 16° 15′, 127° 13′ (barometer 29.54) there was a high cross sea. At 3.15 P.
the sea and gale becoming
so violent, that it was no longer possible to lay to (the ship being insufficiently ballasted and loaded all over with kerosine oil from America for Hongkong) and the ship labouring heavily and the decks being full of water they took in the spanker and mizen topmast staysail and ran across the path of the typhoon in front of the centre directly for Luzon under bare poles and foretopmast staysail heading NW/W (? SW/W). The wind gradually backed to the N and W and the ship was quite properly kept with the wind on the starboard quarter. The barometer fell at the rate of tenth an hour. It blew a terrific typhoon with fierce squalls and occasional lulls. The ship was heading WSW at midnight
