The centre at this time was only at a distance of abont 35 miles 

 from two of the Light Vessels ; yet these were experiencing comparatively 

 feeble winds, as compared with the strong gales blowing, as the log of 

 the Pemba proves, at distances of 200 and 300 miles from the centre 

 in the south-easterly quadrant. 



The ships' logs do not give 10 A. m. observations. Their positions 

 are given for noon, together with barometric readings and wind directions 

 and force. When these are charted, they indicate the existence of a centre 

 of depression in about Lat. 21° 3' N. and Long. 88° 40' E. The following 

 table gives the positions of the ships at noon, and the distance and 

 direction of the centre (assuming the position of this to be in Lat. 21° 3' 

 N. and Long. 88° 40' E.) in each case.
