The chart issued for August by the
United States photographic office gives the
following interesting data of the late hur-
fricane which swept the Atlantic coast:
The storm reached Porto Rico the morn
ing of Aug. s. At San Juan the shifting
of winds from northeast to southeast, and
a minimum reading of 1880 al $50 a. M
fixes the center to the southwark. The
STORM WAS central near romeo at ABOUT u
noon. being particularly destructive at this
point and elsewhere along the southern
coast.
After reaching Florida the path of the
hurricane was parallel to the general trend
OF the United States coast. 1t was most
severe alongshore between Cape Lookout
and Cape Henry, the center here coming
nearest the mainland.
The storm Travelled at the rate of TWEEN
~ miles an hour from the 81 to the 7th;
from the Windward Islands to Porto Rico,
sixteen miles an hour; between Porto Rico
and the coast Of Florida il slowed down
to nine miles, and on Aug. 1913 to three
miles, after which its velocity increased.
The storm area was small throughout the
course of the hurricane, increasing slight
ly as II approached the American coast.
The shape of this area was roughly clip
teal. the major axis approaching the d.
rection of the path of the storm. The iso-
bars were crowded more closely in front
than in the rear, causing barometers to
fall more rapidly as the storm approached
than they rose as it retreated.

received for free distribution to
mariners the pilot chart for the North

| lowing forecast for September: Fair OF
