At Noon on the 2d, or 12 hours later, we find that the centre of a 

 storm had just passed the Eliza, which vessel was then about in la- 

 titude 17° 45' N., longitude 88° 48' E. Now at this time, the Eliza 

 had the wind at S. S. E. blowing a hurricane. 



And the other ships, if the storm were the same, should have had 

 the winds as follows: —

These two statements will, I think, sufficiently demonstrate, that 

 the storms were not the same; and it will be seen on examination, that 

 the supposition of (wo storms explains all the anomalies satisfactorily. 



A few words more on this subject will, however, I think dissipate 

 any doubts. I have already remarked, page 801-802, on the rate at 

 which the Eliza's storm travelled to Pooree from the undoubted 

 station of its centre at noon of the 2nd. 



Now as the shift of wind from North to E. S. E. took place, as we 

 have seen, at Pooree at 6 p. m. of the 2nd, we should naturally look to 

 find that, if the storms were the same, the wind at Cuttack, which is 

 fifty miles to the North of it, veered also in such a way as to coincide 

 with this change ; or at all events, (as it was on shore,) nearly so. But 

 we find on the contrary, that this did not take place at all; and that at 



* These two stations and the ship Emerald Isle, may be considered as not at this 

 time within the limits of the storm.
