THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 8TH JUNE, 1895.

The sailing vessel Barcore was situated at noon on the 5th a few miles to the SSW of Gap Rock, and the centre must have passed almost over the vessel between 9 a. and noon during which interval the wind lulled and her decks were crowded with butterflies and land birds. The vessel was very much dainaged and was saved with difficulty. The barometer is stated to have been rising at noon, but no readings were entered in the log book.
On the 6th the disturbance was filling up between Canton and Swatow. Pressure had increased very considerably over N. China between the 4th and 6th and it appears that the depression was unable to make any progress in a northerly direction in consequence, and that its course was directed more and more to the eastward and towards the neighbourhood of Swatow on the 6th, It appears to have completely broken up during the evening of this day, the moderate S winds which had prevailed in the neighbourhood of Swatow during the day with steady barometer giving place to NE winds which set in there with great force during the evening accompanied by rising barometer.
