There was a tremendous cross sea in the middle of the Gulf on the 2nd and wet weather. The calm centre passed over the Loosok about noon. The centre appears to have come up from the S or SE. It is very unusual to have the presence of a typhoon centre in so very low a latitude as this must have been in on the 1st, but from the observations on board the Namyong it appears that there was a very minute depression in about 5°, 108° on the morning of the 1st. A fresh NE gale with squally and wet weather and high sea was reported from Cape S. James. At noon it was perhaps in 7, 1071. It must have moved up into the Gulf with a velocity most unusual in that latitude, but there was a strong NE monsoon blowing in the China Sea. At noon on the 2nd we know it was in 10° 30′, 102° 13'. At that time it blew a strong gale within 200 miles of the centre. It then moved Eward towards the Isthinus of Kraw which it may have entered in a latitude of 11o.
On the 7th December the Nanshan experienced another typhoon in the China Sea. Cape S. James reported N 5 and slight swell at 9 a. on the 7th. NW 7 and swell at 3 p.
