110 Tenth Memoir on the Law of Storms in India. [No. 146. 



N. W. and she scudded with it to the E.S.E. We shall return to her 

 log when discussing the place of the centre of the storm for the 21st, but 

 I may remark here, that we can barely suppose the storm of the Rajas- 

 than and that of Teazer to have been the same. 



On the 21st, we have the Teazer with a gale from N.W. since the 

 afternoon of the N.W. and at noon on this day, after scudding with 

 a tremendous heavy gale from the Westward, broaching to in a hurri- 

 cane, with the Barometer at 29.20, and afterwards rising. This must 

 place her position on that day very close to the centre, and that centre 

 about due North of her. 



The ships Lord Elphinstone, Lyndoch, Candahar, Champion 

 and Euphrates * were all on this day off the low land at the mouth 

 of the Godavery and Kistnah, and it will be noted that the trending 

 of the coast just to the South of their position, or in latitude 15° 

 North, from N. E. and S. W., becomes North and South, and the high 

 land recommences in about Lat. 15° to the Southward, leaving the 

 valley and delta of the Godavery to form a wide extent of low land. 

 The Euphrates, the outermost of these vessels, was at noon on the 21st 

 about 120 miles from False Point. They had all gales from E. N. E. to 

 N. E. with falling Barometers, and the Julia, which ship was far to the 

 N. Eastward, and about in the middle of the Bay, had the wind at S. E. 

 We shall thus, I conceive, not be far wrong if we consider the centre of 

 the storm at noon on the 21st to have been about in longitude 85° and 

 in latitude 1 1° 20'. There is perhaps a little anomaly in the wind 

 marked in the log of the Bussorah Merchant, which is said to have been 

 S.W. a. m. and South p. m. which would allow us to call the wind S. W. 

 by S. at noon, while in strictness she should have the wind S. W. by W. 

 or two points farther to the Westward. This is not of any great im- I 

 portance when we recollect that she was bringing up a heavy monsoon, 

 and that the small storm of the Rajasthan on the 20th (if there was | 

 one) would necessarily occasion some irregularity hereabouts. 



On the other side of the circle also we have some slight anomalies 

 of the same kind, in the winds marked in the logs of the Bittern, Baboo, 

 &c. which were evidently, at this time, in part those deflected from the 



* I have marked only the tracks of the Candahar, Euphrates, and Union to avoid 

 confusing the chart with too many of them.
