 direction and S. W. it was at its height from 12 to 2 of the night of

 wind then came back to North again at 10 a. m. of the 25th, and 

 then to South suddenly at a quarter before 1 of the 25th, and at 5 

 r. m. shifted to East.

The following Report has been kindly forwarded to me by the Magis- 

 trate of Mangalore. 



Your letter of the 16th April, addressed to the Magistrate of 

 Honore, reached me a short time ago. I have now T the pleasure to 

 send you some notes of the weather, from the 24th to the 27th October, 

 1842, kept in my office. The direction of the wind is probably 

 not exactly correct, as there is no vane at the station. 



The appearance of the sky was very disturbed on the 25th and 

 26th, and I felt certain, that a severe gale of wind must have been 

 blowing on the opposite side of the Peninsula.
