THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1888.
meteorology as set forth in his letter above dluded 10, and looking forward to his pro nised forthcoming work on the weather and climates of India, I would point out that is directions about finding the bearings of the centre of cyclones of the Bay of Bengal seem be just a little perplexing to some who read being three and four points before the beam, while referring to a human being standing with his hack to the wind, &e. Of course, what is cant is, supposing a vessel las her stern to the wind, or running with the wind right aft, the centre will be three and four points before the 'port' beat or in other words, if the wind is, say, N.E. by N., the centre of the storm will hear S.S. E. or S. by F., and not S.E. by E. or
facts of the wind's movement in cyclones, and it ja because the promulgation of such views as M. faye's tends to perpetuate an old and exploded error of fact, that I have put in my protest against them." Of course, this protest from such an nuthority as the head of the Meteorological Department in India, and the indisputable evidence hom authentic records which he putshem, when he speaks, as he does, of the wind forward in support of it, dispose of, and should be the death blow to, the rigid eight point theory of, as Mr. Blanford well denominates him, "that great pioneer of storm science"ddington- theory, however, which unfortunately still has its trusty advocates and passive followers So deeply is this" old and exploded error of facts," the eight point theory of storms, rooted in the minds of sonic, that, ignoring the reiterated warning voice of science, they will have none other. Do they lean towards it because it is so very simple to look at on paper, and so easy of application? I fear that is about the truth of it. Sa very easy, that Pidlington somewhere in his writings says of a certain old salt, whose ship had been dis- masted in a cyclone: that if even a junior P.,and O. Company's midshipman had the handling of his vessel she would have come through the storm scatheless. (The P. and O. midshipman, it must be presumed, having been schooled in Piddington's theory.) A reflection, which we, with our more extended knowledge now per ceive was very hard on the old experienced captain. Yet, there the proclaimed peril of using this theory staring mariners sternly in the
face.
I would seem, according to the evidence pro- duced by Mr. Blandford as above quoted, that it is not so easy a matter, after all, for a vessel, even if she has plenty of sea room, especially one propelled by sail alone, to escape the centre
and rear hurricane wind when once involved in one of these storms in the north of the Bay of Bengal, and perhaps this is one reason why we find so many vessels come to grief which should, according to the eight point theory, have run clear.
E., as it appears is still stubbornly taught by those who should know better.

CITY HALL HONGKONG,
SATURDAY,
the 6th October; 1888,
As one of the physical results of the spiral circulation of the air currents above a cyclonic storm, in which each higher cloud stratum (and I have often observed three distinct cloud sheets
THE AMATEURS of ST. PATRICKS acting thes) is seen to come more from the right and MEMBERS of the 58th, than that below it, we find as a fact that nearly LILY MINSTRELS, will give A GRAND all well formed arched squalls, such as our
VARIETY ENTERTAINMENT for the northwesters in Lower liengal, and even the
Benefit of the Widow and Family of the Late. famous but cruel Eurydice squail at the back of
CORNELIUS PEREIRA, Assistant Warder, V. G the Isle of Wight some years back, strike the
who lost his life in the execution of his duty with surface from some direction more or less to the
the Chain-Gang- right of the wind which they displace, so that a ship on the starboard tack caught in an arched squall in the Northern Hemisphere always "comes up" in it; and ony on the port tack" "breaks' off" or is caught absck in it.
But much has to be said with regard to this rule of keeping the wind on the starboard benim, with a view of hastening the vessel's distance from the centre and from the hurricane bek of a cyclone. In the first place, on the left hand semicircle, each squall, as we have above noticed, bursting down from aloft cames from the right hand of the surface wind which it displaces, and the vessel necessarily comes up in it, provided the storm is stationary, or is not fully devel. ped; but if it has obtained much velocity its onward progress will counteract this effect; and the wind will remain stationary in direction, or the ship will actually break off" and con- trough
But there is one more cogent element of trouble and danger besetting the anxious mariner, which, although taken note of in Mr. Pedler's recent report on the meteorology of the ay, is not generally considered when judging, as Piddington used to do, of a shipmaster's proper or improper management of his vessel in a cyclone; and which will probably account for the numbers of vessels, perhaps widely separated before the cyclone came on, which unaccountably get foul of the comparatively small spac called the "Eyesequently, be more and more in the of the storm as it progresses on its fell course and so have to bear the brunt of the dreaded rear hurricane wind from south-west or west: that is, the great indraught towards the centre of the very waters in which they float.
Ben
This whirling indraught, drift, or set of the, is on the move long before even the air mation above has gained force enough to impel it, as is so well shawn by the westward sel at the Hugbli Pilot Station, which usually gets up some time before every cyclone in the Bay, whether far or near. But the worst of it is, when the vessel is out of sight of any fixed object, or the skies are overcast so as to preclude sights being taken, the force and direction of this inset can- not be calculated and allowed for in the dead reckoning as a "course and distance." And it is only after the gale is over, and a sight can be taken, that the Captain is very much astonished to find his vessel's position is so far out of her dead reckoning.
*
I myself as a pilot have experienced this per- plexity on more than one occasion at the head of the Bay; and, besides, the published records
of the sea; a position sometimes critical för a ship if she is deep laden, and a high cross sea is running, as there probably will be under the circumstances. In this case the only afternative eft open to the shipmaster is to so reduce his sail that the vessel will not farereach, (or lay to) on the port tack, and wait until the storm passes on.
But on the right hand semicircle the case is very different, and the starboard tack rule is the proper one to adopt both with regard to thell wind-shifts and also to the lact of the vessel always coming more and more 'head on to the sea, an all important consideration..

this whirling inset of the sea most conclusively. ..Mr. Blanford's rules for finding the bearing of the centre of storms are evidently calculated to suit all winds; but some account' should be taken of the fact that, in and off the Hughli. river at least, whether the cyclone is passing up to the castward towards Chittagong, coming straight on towards the Hughlf, or passing across the Bay to the westward towards False Point, or Balasore, the first wind blows invariably from north-east until the hard part of the storm is close upon, you. No special reason has yet been advanced as to why this should be the case; yet so it undoubtedly ins was noticed first by the late Mr. Wilson concerning a cyclone some years back; and as the meteorological registers, and logs of ships doring later storms well show; and which, years ago. I drew attention to in my little book The Sailors East Indian, Sky Interpreter,
Some authorities of the present day advise, when caught in cyclone, that vessels should with the wind more or less on the starboard run quarter in the Northern Hemis here: but taking into consideration the now generally acknowledged wind's incurvature, and the great inset of the sea which I have drawn attention to

So too, let us be charitable and learn to withold censure even though it may seem the hapless whip master har erred in his judgment. We are all. "sometimes very wise after the event.-- S. R.
