The subsequent history of the storm is of special interest. 
At 10 o'clock on the 10th its centre lay about half way 
between Bellary and Karwar, and before nest morning it 
had passed into the Arabian Sea. In passing over the land 
the depression seems to have been partly filled up, but on 
again coming over the sea it regained its former extent, and

information regarding this part of its course at present avail-

of the passengers in the P. and 0. Steamer Peshatcar and 
accounts since published of the voyages of the S.S. Mobile 
and Henry Bolchno. The first signs of it were met at noon 
on Friday the 12th in lat. 15° 39' N„ long. 57° 19' E. At 
noon next day the Peshawar was 614 miles from Bombay. 
At this time the wind and sea were both threatening and the 
ship's course was changed to north-west. By 4 p.m. there 
was a " furious " gale and the barometer continued falling 
till 10-30 P.M. when it reached its minimum, 29"37 inches. 
The worst part of the storm was passed by 4 a.m. on the 
14th. The wind veered from north through east to south-

at 40 miles. The actual position of the ship at this time is 
not given, but we know it near enough to show that the path
