The observations made at the same time on board the S.S. Thales, moored in Battery Bay (Pescadores), agree closely with those made on board H.M.S. Pallas. The S.S. Kwanglee coming down from Shanghai had a fresh N gale in about 28°, 122" in the afternoon on the 23rd. The S.S. Woosung at 8 p. on the 23rd had a fresh W gale (barometer 30.05), near Chinkiang. The sailing vessel Altair in 38°, 121° at 4.20 a. on the 23rd encountered a terrific NNE gale which threw the ship on her beam ends, shifting the cargo. They cut away all sails, stays and rigging and then she partly righted. The seas washed away boats and did great damage to the deck-rooms. The tarpaulins got off the hatches and the water poured into the main hatch. They attempted to wear but the sails were blown out of the gaskets. There was a tremendous snow-storm and mountainous sea at noon. At 3.30 p. the gale moderated. It blew steady from NNE.
At noon on the 22nd the centre of the typhoon was in about 18°, 123°. In the evening it appears. to have passed northwards to the E of South Cape within probably 100 miles. About that time it recurved and at noon on the 23rd it was in about 27°, 125°.

On board the Peru the lowest barometer was read after the calm centre had passed and when the typhoon was blowing with full force from the S. On board the Alert the wind hauled into the NE quarter about 8 p. on the 23rd and the barometer began to fall rapidly, passing showers increasing to steady rain.
The sea was then moderate. From midnight to 4 a. on the 24th it shifted to SE and S and increased with steady rain and thick weather. About 10.10 a. the wind fell calm and then suddenly shifted to NE and blew with typhoon force, and heavy blinding rain, the old sea being beaten down by the wind. About noon it began to clear but it still blew hard in the squalls and the sea was very high and confused.
The centre was at noon on the 24th in 33° 30′, 127° 50′ moving ENEward at the rate of about 50 miles an hour. The S.S. Guthrie in 34°, 131° had 29.84 NW 11 with fierce squalls. The S.S. Sutlej in 293, 1223° had 30.06 NW 8. Strong N winds prevailed in central Japan with heavy rain. After this typhoon the NE monsoon blew with great strength over the Eastern Seas.
