On the 20th September the barometer was rising at all stations in China and the NE monsoon commenced spreading southward into the northern part of the China Sea. On the 21st, pressure was increasing further on the S and W and E Coasts, but was giving way slightly in Formosa and at the stations in the north part of the Channel. In Luzon the barometer was also falling. NE winds were now blowing as far south as 20° lat. to the Westward of the Bashee Channel. In the middle of the China Sea winds were light and variable, in Luzon light SW airs and breezes. On the 22nd the barometer was falling all along the China Coast particularly in the N. There was also a considerable decrease of pressure on the NW Coast of Luzon. Strong NE breezes blew on the SE coast of China and extended across the China Sea as far south as 18° where high seas and squally wet weather also prevailed. Off the Coast of SW Luzon fresh SW breezes blew. At Bolinao a gentle SSE breeze and weather becoming wet with lower clouds moving fast from the S. The observations indicate that a depression was forming in an area to the west of Bolinao on the 22nd. The Zafiro at 4 p. in 14° 55', 120° 0′ steering NW had then a gentle SW breeze and cloudy weather. At midnight the wind became variable of force 3 with showery weather and SW swell and so continued until noon next day when the wind settled down at NNE.
