3 p. m. Calm ; scud from East, but very slow and indistinct, a 



light air from East, with drizzling rain, . . . . 28.275 



At this time I drove out on the Esplanade. The appearance of the 

 sky was very remarkable. In the zenith the haze was so thick that 

 the direction of the scud could not be determined, but to the East and 

 N. E. it was slowly moving, as before, to the West and S. W. while 

 in the South, from thick heavy masses of clouds, the scud was rising 

 and flying to the North and N. E. ! Barometer. 



3-30 A light squall and drizzling rain about S. W 28.275 



4-20 Breeze from S. W. increasing fast, (the scud having be- 

 gan to move from the South about 3-20,) with squalls 

 and drizzling rain from the S. W., . . . . . 28.285 



5 p. m. Heavy gusts from S. S. W. to S. W. Scud as rapid 



from S. W. as before from N. E., 28.320
