The thermometer seldom errs in indicating the gulf- stream, 

 if we pay attention to the direction of the wind. If we cross 

 the gulf-stream from Halifax to Bermuda, or any place to 

 the southward, and keep a strong northerly wind across it, the 

 air will be considerably colder than with a southerly wind, and, 

 consequently, there must be a greater difference between the 

 temperature of the air and the water. On the contrary, in 

 crossing the stream going to Halifax, or any way to the north- 

 ward, if we keep a southerly wind across, the air will be much 

 warmer than with a northerly wind, and, consequently, the 

 difference between the temperature of the sea and the air will 

 be less.
