" George, and Mary ;' Captain GoUghtly. 



An imperfect account of the weather experienced by the " George and 

 Mary," Captain Golightly, states, that upon the 2%th April at Noon, the wind 

 veered from SW. to East with a fine steady breeze, to which all sails 

 were set. At 6 p.m. it became cloudy, with a heavy bank to the NW. The 

 wind shortly after shifted to North in a very heavy squall, lasting for 

 three-quarters of an hour, to which every thing was let go, and the 

 vessel was than prepared for bad weather. The wind continued to veer 

 to the NW. and at daylight of the 29th, had increased in violence. At 

 noon of the 29th, Lat. was about 16° N. Long. 84° 30' E,* the gale being at its 

 height, and blowing a severe hurricane from the NNW. which lasted- for 

 six hours ; the wind then veered to the East, then to ESE., to S. and SSW. 

 and at daylight on the ^Oth began to moderate, leaving a "nasty cross sea."
