376 Nineteenth Memoir on the Law of Storms. [No. 5. 



We find, that on the 21st of April, the Braemar in 6° 43' S. and 

 88° 10' East had cloudy weather with a confused sea ; and the wind from 

 N. E. to East, her Barometer being still at 29.77 ; and that the Sama- 

 rang> Lady Sale and Sultany all very near each other, but 140 miles 

 to the S. W. of the Braemar had also strong Northerly and N. Easterly 

 breezes, increasing, and with squalls, and their Barometers falling ; and by 

 midnight they were all preparing for bad weather. We cannot from this 

 infer anything as to the existence of a Cyclone to the N. Westward of 

 them on this day at Noon, and indeed had any existed it would have 

 been felt by the Jumna and Salween, both of which were in that 

 direction, the Salween being only 130' to the W. b. N. of the Braemar. 



But at 320 miles to the S. West of the Braemar and 180 to the S. 

 West of the Sultany, Lady Sale and Samarang, it appears that the 

 Futtle Rozack having had the wind in strong squalls from N. E. to 

 E. S. E. and S. E. at Noon, had by 5 p. m. strong gales with heavy 

 gusts, turbulent swell and confused sea, with her Barometer at 29.55 

 and 29.54. At midnight it did not fall more, because she was still 

 running to the W. S. W. and S. W. and out of the Cyclone circle, if 

 we take it now to have been one, as it seems by her Log to have just 

 commenced, or formed, (or descended) somewhere to the N. W. of her. 



It was midnight also before the Pemberton began to experience any 

 bad weather. She being at this time perhaps with the light winds 

 and calms described in the note, in about 7i° S. and 82° 50' East, and 

 indeed, if the winds are correctly noted in the newspaper account, 

 which was no doubt the Captain's report, the Cyclone of this ship 

 and the Deborah was a small one travelling rapidly to the S. East, a 

 very unusual track hereabouts. I shall revert again to these vessels 

 and I notice them now merely to shew that, for this day, the Pemberton s 

 position could have no relation to the Futtle Rozack' 's bad weather. 

 The newspaper position I take to have been as usual about where the gale 

 was most severe, and Mr. Meldrum's to be the calculated position at 

 noon of the 22nd, and that the date given by the Captain is that of the 

 worst weather on the 23rd, when the vessel had drifted back to the 

 Northward. 



On the 22nd of April, we find that the Braemar had run down 160 

 miles to the S. S. W. and South with fresh gales and drizzling rain 

 from the N. E. b. E. to N. East, and a high rolling sea ; her Barometer
