the storm is now apparently centered
southwest OF Jamaica. moving westward
toward Yucatan.
1t is too early to predict. explained
Prof Garriott today. whether the storm
will veer to the northwestward and strike
the coast Of the Gulf Of Mexico. as these
storms frequently do.
Course Undetermined.
For two or three days it will he i'm
possible to determine the course OF the
storm. as It is now passing out OF the
observation zone.
Unless steamers in the Gulf Of Mexico
report by wireless telegraph to the
weather bureau the state OF the weather
in their vicinity there is no way of learn
ing conditions. The bureau for some time
has been trying to have shipmasters OF
steamers equipped with wireless make re-
ports to the weather Office, but thus far
few have responded
Close watch of the progress of the
storm, as far as possible, will be kept or
