How Hard is the Wind Blowing. 
Very often one hears a small yacht sailor say: 
“It was blowing a gale,” when as a matter of 
fact, according to velocity schedule, he meant a 
strong breeze or less. The following table, 
known as the Beaufort Scale, will be interesting 
and instructive. No mention is made of “great 
guns.” so when you are uncertain as to the 
wind’s velocity, you may safely say: “It is blow¬ 
ing great guns”: 
Velocity 
Miles per Hour 
0 . Calm—Full-rigged ship, all sail set, no headway.. 3

and by” . 23
