 clined. 



Owing to the interruption in the continuity of these records, it 

 is impossible to affirm that the maximum velocity of the wind was 

 recorded. In fact, there are reasons for believing that the storm 

 reached its greatest violence somewhat before three o'clock. 



It seems quite cei'tain, then, that at times during the storm the ve-
