SERGEANT BARwIcK's REPORT.
Sergeant Barwicl gives the following
facts relative to the storm and other mat
tiers:
The total velocity of wind for the six
hours yesterday, from 8 A. NJ. TO 3 P. NJ. was
PIG miles. or exactly 50 miles per hour
Between | and 1:30 P. NJ. yesterday the
highest velocity was reached, which was a
maximum of A miles per hour; during
i've minutes there were miles made,
which was an average of As miles per hour,
and on several occasions during the six
hours blow there were miles made in
TWO mlnutes-or an average of 60
maximum velocity was A miles.
This is the highest velocity ever recorded
since the Signal Office was established
here, in July, 1877. The nearest to A
miles per hour occurred in May, 1S7S-40
miles; December 1S79-39 miles; and De
cember, $500 miles. The following
shows the highest hourly velocity for each
year since 1873: Highest velocity in 1878,
40 miles-in May; in 1879 80 miles-in
December; in 1850, 40 miles-in Deem
Der; in 1884, 81 miles-in January; in 1882
80 miles, in April; in 1888, So miles-in
January; in 1854, sc miles, in December :;
in 1885, 36 miles-in November; in 1886
Al miles-in January. The pressure or
force OF the wind, at velocity of sc miles
per hour, on one square foot of surface is
GAS pounds; 40 miles per hour, pounds:
Al miles, 9.6S pounds; IS miles, II 80
pounds; 30 miles, 1880 pounds; and so
miles, IS pounds.
The barometer was rising rapidly on the
18th, and continued to rise until A. NJ
yesterday (20th), after which time it began
falling, and in eight hours had fallen DO
quite a rapid fall From noon
yesterday it began to rise gradually, with
southerly winds travelling from II to Is
miles per hour and clouds moving rapidly
from the southwest. Low scud and MIN
bus yesterday afternoon were moving rap
idly from the south and as they began to
come from the southwest there was break
in clouds, when higher and thicker clouds
We're seen moving slowly from some south
erly point. The rain began about
a. NJ. yesterday. and at NJ. there
had been is of an inch deposited:
from A. NJ. to noon SO of an inch, and
from noon to P. NJ. .75 Of an inch, making
a total rainfall yesterday of .43 inches and
3.43 inches for the month, and a total of
20.63 inches for the season, as against l6 50
inches for the entire season of 1SS4-S5.
Telegraph wires down, and no Signal Serv-
Ice reports received at noon or last night
either, therefore we are unable to say what
the weather is along the Pacific slope, but
hopeit has not been any worse than at this
point. This can truly be said to be the
worst wlnd-storm ever felt here during
the last eight years.
