Typhoon XIV was first experienced by the sailing vessel Lucile between the 12th and 17th of September, the vessel being situated at that time to the East of S Luzon. Her position during this period is not accurately stated but it may be taken as somewhere between the latitude of 13° and 14° and the longitude of 125° and 126°. They made scarcely any observations but the barometer is stated to have been falling on the 12th and 13th, the wind varying from N on the former to NW and WSW on the latter late. The wind was of the strength of a fresh breeze, rain was falling and the weather was very unsettled. On the 15th it blew a gale from W and SW accompanied by fierce squalls and heavy rain. On the morning of the 16th the barometer read 29.59 and the wind blew a moderate gale from SW backing to S by E accompanied by hard rainsqualls. In the course of the evening the weather moderated. From this information it appears that the typhoon was approaching the vessel from the eastward between the 13th and 15th, and that it passed to the north of the vessel moving westward, probably along the parallel of 15o, between the 15th and 16th. In the absence of detailed observations from the stations in Luzon, the observations telegraphel from Bolinao and Manila at the time being the only ones available, the centre may be placed in 15°, 123° at noon on the 16th and it appears to have entered the E coast of Luzon the same night. The weather was becoming bad at this time both at Bolinao and Manila. At the former station the wind increased to a gale from N during the evening. and the barometer had fallen to 29.48 at 7 p. At 6 a, on the 17th the wind had decreased to a mo lerate breeze from N, the weather was wet and the barometer had fallen to 29.24. Between 8 a. and 9 a. the wind changed to the SE but was of force 2 or 3 only and no motion was discernible in the clouds. The barometer remained almost steady, the light SE wind continuing until after noon when it commenced to increase in force. The clouds were now coming fast from the SE, but later the direction backed to E together with the wind which at 5 p. (barometer 29.17) had attained the force of a strong gale accom- panied by heavy rainsqualls. At Manila they had storm force of wind from S at 10 a. (burometer 29.37), but at 4 p. it had decreased to a fresh S gale and the barometer which read 29.37 showed a rise allowing for daily variation. The centre was passing probably a few miles to the south of Bolinao during the
