OTTAWA, March 9.-Great interest is taken
in Virgins storm. The weather to-day is
like spring, and the question is asked:
"Where is the storm?'F In an interview
to-day Virgins said there seemed to be
general misunderstanding as to the time
the great storm would begin. This" he
added, sis no fault of mine, for in my
almanac this year, under March, say that
it will be first felt in the northern Pacific
on the 9th, and will strike this continent
from the southwest on the after.
noon of Saturday, the 10th. 1t will
cross the continent from east to west, south
of parallel Do. tomorrow afternoon, and
being DETECTED by the Rocky mountains
will pass down the great Canadian lakes
and pass down 10 the east Sunday
morning. A great tidal wave must

storm must now be raging over India. If
the theory Of an opposite tide be true,
| though have always disputed it, then the
tidal wave must occur in the Gulf OF Mex
leo to-day. l am glad to know the
Gloucester fishermen were wise enough to
keep on shore, as they must all have
persisted had they been on the banks OF
Newfoundland yesterday morning. sup
pose there is no storm signals displayed on
all North American coasts at this moment,
though there will be upon us
in few hours one of
the greatest storms that has occurred in the
memory of anyone now living. During the
last six months have done everything in
my power to prevent loss at sea by
keeping the the shipping il IN i safe
of March. Whether will get credit or not,
feel that l have at least done my duty to
the public and to myself. The weather to-
day must be mild over the western hemis-
phere, for the pressure is all upon
the opposite side of the earth, but
will be transferred to us to morrow.
Remember the storm is not to begin until
the 18th in this meridian, and it will be
some hours before its full force will be felt
and it will probably last several days. This
| is what l said in my letter first
published on the subject, and l adhere to 1t
| in every particular. Norespectable asiron-
omer has risked his reputation by saying
the storm will not come, and scientific men
generally throughout the world, if we
except meteorologists, (who are interested
parties) have either endorsed the storm or
remained silent. / see the meteorological
| bureau a Toronto indicates mild weather
in the maritime provinces tomorrow. We
| shall see."
