Wind W.N.W., W., W.S.W., S.W., barometer rising, storm passing off.



LEFT-HAND SEMICIRCLE.

N.B. The directions of the hurricane winds are so arranged as to show

the points of commencement and termination. Thus in the lower latitudes

a storm commencing at E.N.E. passes off at S.S.W. after the wind has

veered E., E.S.E., S.E., S.S.E., and S., being in the order of the

letters in the upper line and contrary to their order in the lower. One

commencing at E.S.E. passes off at S.S.E. right-hand semicircle. In the

higher latitudes a ship taking the storm at E.N.E. will be in the

left-hand semicircle, and the hurricane will pass off at N.N.E. These

changes are rendered very apparent by moving the hurricane circle in the

direction in which the storm is expected to proceed.
