Fresh NE winds and drizzly rains to port, arrived
29th May, 1906, at 7 a.m.
NOTE. The relatively low barometer on the passage is explained probably by the fact that on leaving Manila a typhoon was passing North of Manila, which afterwards was found to have recurved to the Northward without crossing the China Sen.
