Raleigh's Tyfoon of 1835. 



4. That the violence of the wind was apparently greater with 

 the Raleigh, than with the Lady Hayes. 



5. That the gale was experienced by an English schooner, 

 Aug. 5th, in lat. 18° 2' N. Ion. 115° 50' E. ; but the Levant, arri- 

 ving on the 7th, in her course through the China sea, did not en- 

 counter the gale. 



6. That the fall and rise of the barometer at Macao, and with 

 the Raleigh, and the strength and changes of wind with the latter, 

 were such as are often exhibited near the centre of a hurricane ; 

 and that the minimum depression of the barometer occurred about 

 seventeen hours later at Macao, than with the Raleigh. 



These facts seem to establish the following conclusions : 



1. That the Tyfoon advanced m a westerly direction. 



2. TSegatively ; — that it did ^lo^pass through the China sea, from 

 N. E. to S. W., nor on the opposite of this course.
