On the 10th a fresh NE gale was felt throughout the day with gloomy and wet weather and a heavy sea at Breaker Point and during the latter part of the day even in Swatow with uninterrupted rain, though only an inch was collected at 9 a. on the 11th. From the lighthouses in the compara- tively narrow northern entrance of the Formosa Straits a fresh NNE breeze on the 7th increased to a fresh or strong NE gale on the 9th. The NE gale decreased in force in the morning on the 10th. There does not appear to have fallen much rain so far north of the center but these registers exhibit another instance of the force of NE winds consequent on the passage of a typhoon several hundred miles to the south. The Straits at all times exercise a powerful deflecting influence on the direction of the wind, which is evidently increased by the chain of high mountains running from north to south in Formosa. Along the southern coast of China fresh or strong winds blow straight from East under. similar circumstances.
The strongest wind reported from Taków was a strong SSE gale at 3 h. 30 m. p. on the 10th. This station is however particularly unfavourably situated for observations of the wind, which appears to be very local. From Fisher Island no wind above a fresh breeze and apparently not much rain is reported.
From Kiungehow, Hainan, the lowest barometer is reported on the morning of the 11th with gloomy weather. The wind, a strong W breeze, reached at the same time its maximum, but no rain till later in the day is reported. A fresh or strong NNW breeze is at the same time reported from Pakhoi and a moderate NW breeze with blue sky and remarkable dryness in the air from Haiphong.
