On the South Coast at Hongkong the barometer was almost steady, the lowest reading when corrected for daily variation occurred at noon, the actual reading at this time being 29.50. Light NW breezes prevailed with drizzling rain at intervals.
Vessels approaching Hongkong from the SSW had strong NNW breezes with rain squalls and high sea. Off the Coasts of Annam and Cochin China fresh to strong WSW breezes and squally weather prevailed and there was similar winds and weather off the W coast of S. Luzon.

The barometer shows a considerable rise at Hongkong and at the adjacent stations or the SE coast and gentle NE breezes prevailed at the stations with cloudy weather. Further west at Hoihow moderate N breezes prevailed with squally weather. The Presto off the coast of S Hainan had the wind veering from NW 5 at noon to NE 5 at midnight as she progressed NEward with rough sea at the latter hour (barometer 29.65). She was to the SW of the centre at noon and to the NW at mid- night. The Picciola at noon NE of the centre (in 21° 23′, 114° 51′) steering towards the SSE had a fresh E breeze veering to SE at midnight (barometer 29.62 rising) with squally weather and swell. Vessels to the E of Annam had fresh W to SW breezes. The centre was at noon on the 9th in 20° 15', 113° 05'. There was no vessel within 100 miles of this position, but the cyclonic circulation of winds is well marked.
