S.S. Activ,
S.S. Canton,
The log of the S.S. Activ shows that the centre of a small cyclone passed across St. John's harbour at 3 p. on the 30th June. The wind scarcely reached typhoon force. There was no rain to speak of till after the centre had passed. Captain HYGOM, who observed the phenomena carefully as is to be seen from the log printed below, has given us the following particulars in addition. They are of great value as we had hitherto no observations of the motion of clouds above the bull's eye, where it is usually so difficult to make observations.
64
The
Before the centre passed the clouds came from 1 point south of the wind, but not very fast. They continued from that direction during the first part of the central calm. The fleck of clear sky moved slowly about NEward. The sea calmed down perfectly with the wind for an hour and a half. clouds came from SE in the bull's eye, then from S, and then the wind burst from the opposite quarter to where it blew from before. Another clearing in the clouds were noticed to the SE. After the calm the rain was seen to come up like a wall from about 5 miles towards W.”
From this we may conclude that this little typhoon originated in the evening of the 29th June or during the following night a short distance S by W of St. John's harbour. That it was not fully established till the centre was above St. John's harbour and that it there quickly ceased to blow as the centre entered the mainland.
After entering China the depression moved NNWward.
