RIDDLES OF THE SEA
BY WILLIAM ATHERTON DU pI,'

Now If YOU are in the outskirts Of q h,,rr;-
cane and want TO know where the center Of
1t is, YOU have only to look in the eve Of the
wind, and the storm center is TO vour rich,
If you draw a little iigger like a witch
spring, YOU will have a diagram of a hurri-
cane. But be careful T. lraw in the dircc-
ton opposite the hands Of the watch i, Won
are north OF the equator and with the hands
OF the watch II YOU are Scuth of il. Now
place yourself, in imagination. at anv point
on one OF these lines. Its direction AT that
point will represent the direction Of the wind.
Face the wind. The storm center is on your
right. With this diagram Of a watch spring
any landlubber can tell where the storm
center is. The knowledge Of the savants is
not necessary to convince him in which di-
rectlon he should steer, flee, set sail, and
beat it,
The direction in which the storm center
Is moving may be determined by taking sue
ceSSive observations. As YOU turn to face
the changing wind, YOU have only to observe
IN what direction point would move to be
still on Your right. 1t is the simplest thing
in the world thus to determine whether the
storm center is cutting in ahead OF YOU or
behind YOU, and TO turn tail or steam ahead
accordingly.
