On tile 23d of September last I an
that great storm wcu.d occur in
March next; that it would first be felt
in the Northern Pacific, would appear
in the Gulf Ut Mexico, and, being re-
Elected by the Rocky Mountains, would
cross tins meridiaE at noon, Sunday,
March IL, 1883. No vessel, whatever
her dimensions, will be safe out of bar
Dor, and none of small tonnage can Hope
to survive the tidal wave and fury Of
this tempest: AS the wind will blow,
from the southeast, the planetary force
will be sufficient to submerge low lands
on the American coast, especially those
bordering on the Gulf Of Mexico and
washed by the Gulf stream, while the
air currents tor several hundred miles
along the east side Of the Rocky Noun
tain range, owing to the great atnos
pheric pressure in those regions, will
spread universal destruction. The
New England States will also suffer Sc
verely from wind and foods. NOp0int
outside of a iarbor in the whole area
of the Atlantic, especially north of the
equator, will he u place of safety, for
this will be pre-eminently the worst,
storm that has visited this continent
since the days of. our illustrious first
President. In view OF this event,
| therefore, I take great liberty in pre-
senting to your excellency the advisa-
bility Of ordering all United States
ships into safe harborS, not later than
March S, till this storm be passed.
