SOLOMON'S ISLAND, Md, Septem-
Der l6.-The terrific hurricane which
has been moving northward from the
tropics was believed to be passing
northward in the Chesapeake Bay about
40 miles of Solomons Island at 10
o'clock tonight.
Reports from the Drum Point and
Cove Point lightkeepers indicated the
storm was passing up the bay far on
the western shore and would not strike
along the peninsula formed between
the bay and the Patuxent River by
Calvert and Anne Arundel Counties.
nc. Groom Of Wake, Va, who has
been lghtkeeper at Cove Point for the
past two years. declared a storm pre-
vailed In the bay shortly after o'clock
this morning.
Ships Suspend Operation.
A similar story Of the progress OF
the storm was told by ]. j. DAILY, keeper
Of the light at Drum Point. DAILY said
that a number Of vessels had suspended
operation during the storm. while those
that are in operation have been passing
in close to the point to avoid the heavy
weather in the bay.
It was said by the Drum Point light
keeper that NlSlDluty AT tIle pOulL ID

Water Rises 3 Feet.
The breeze which sprang up this aft

the tide, which residents Of the island
said was approximately 3 feet above
normal The water flooded a portion
of Webster's store and assisted the

The United States Lighthouse Serv-

lighthouses and buoys by last months
storm. yesterday revealed that one
lighthouse keeper had been commended
by the Secretary Of Commerce for a
rescue
He is Thomas j. Steinhise. keeper Of
the light station in Chesapeake Bay at
Seven-Foot Knoll. Md, who rescued
five members Of the crew of the tug
Point Breeze after their vessel sank
without warning and left them widely
scattered in a heavy sea.
Despite engine trouble, caused by
seas breaking over his small boat, the
keeper reached the men and succeeded
in pulling five into his boat before other
help arrived" the Lighthouse Service
said.
"One additional man was found to
be dead when he was taken from the
water. The rescued men were taken
to the lighthouse. suffering from exhaus-
ton and exposure to the high wind,
and were temporarily cared for"
The service reported that the dam
age to York Spit Lighthouse in Chesa-
peake Bay was considerable and that
temporary light has been established,
pending repairs.

in size from little more than q mathe-
matical point to an area 20 or 80 miles
in diameter. there Is almost no wind.
1t is bad place for a ship to be, how
ever, since the winds on every side
raise great waves.
From the doldrums region. the storm
began to move westward, over the At
lantic. 1t probably didn't amount to
much at first, but gathered strength as
the buildingup process continued. The
Weather Bureau first picked it up
Thursday, just north of San Juan,
Puerto Rico. 1t was moving at about
IL miles an hour. slightly northwest
ward, toward the American coast.
Follows Least Resistance.
When 1t passed somewhere in the
vicinity Of Bermuda, 1t encountered an
enormous high" or mass Of heavier,
colder air, with its center over the st.
Lawrence Valley and its edges extend
ing far to the southwark over the East
ern and Central States. A tropical
storm follows the path Of least resist
ance. The contour OF the high was
changing from hour to hour. building
up In one place and decreasing in an
pended on this contour.
So the storm center passed east Of
Washington because the high" began
to give way along the coast while re-
tanning its strength over the Appal-
achians. The situation during the last
storm was almost the reverse of this,
the high breaking down and offering
the path Of least resistance, somewhat
to the west of Washington. As re-
suit this area had northeast or north
winds instead Of north or northwest,
as was the case last time.
Travels Anti-Clockwise.
During the last great tropical dis
turbance. many inquired about the ap-
parent paradox Of a storm from the
southeast blowing from the northwest.
There are two distinct movements in
any such storm. which have very little
to do with each other. First is the
linear movement of the storm center.
in this case about 10 miles an hour, and
from the south. Next are the move
ments of the winds around this center
Their direction depends on ones loca-
ton on the clock dial. They always
are moving in the reverse direction to
the west of the center will be getting
north or northeast winds.
The speed of these winds depends on
the intensity of the disturbance. 1t is
the greatest nearest the storm center.
knowing the probable path Of this CEN
ter, forecasters yesterday could predict
confidently that, providing the path re-
manned unchanged, there would be no
such winds or precipitation In wash
ington as was the case during the other
storm, for the center was passing along
the coast. miles away. Before, it had
passed just west of the city.
The future course of the storm Is
dependent on what happens to the high
pressure area centered over the st.
Lawrence Valley. 1t all hinges on
where this opens up the path Of least
resistance. Ordinarily. such storm
would be shunted northeastward. over
the North Atlantic shipping lanes, but
it might strike westward over the New
England States and Canada.

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

That two great tropical disturbances
should strike the Middle Atlantic coast
within a month constitutes decided
metc geological anomaly in the expert
ence Of Weather Bureau experts.
Ordinarily the moving centers OF
these great, whirling torrents OF light
wet air tend to hit the coast farther to
the South and move Westward over
land, gradually losing their energy, with
the friction of the earth acting as 9
brake on the velocity of the winds and
mountain masses tending to break
them up.
Weather forecasters can tell only the
immediate reasons why such storms
should be heading in this direction
They are in the dark as to the basic
mechanism Of the phenomenon. A
storm path is determined by the dis
tribution and density Of highs" OF
masses OF heavy air, around the moving
low-pressure area. They follow the
paths Of least resistance, offered by the
constantly changing highs. This never
can be predicted very long In advance
These do not differ from other trop-
ical disturbances in their origin or gen.
followed
Part OF ChaOtlc C0n01tl0nS.
Such storms are part Of the general
chaotic weather situation over much OF
the Northern hemisphere during the
past few years. Their Courses can be
determined only by constant watching
Of the barometric pressures and wind
velocities along their paths. The speed
of the storm center, however tends to
remain fairly constant. so, If the pres
sure conditions are known, forecasters
usually can give fairly good time pre-
dictions.
The present storm was born a week
or 10 days ago, probably somewhere
near the Cape Verde Islands, of the
Northwest Coast of Africa.
This is a notorious region of doldrums,
where the air is motionless for days at
time under an intense tropical sun.
1t becomes both heated and filled with
water vapor. Both causes operate to
decrease its density.
Wet air. it is explained by Prof.
w. j. Humphreys Of the Weather Bu-
reau. is considerably lighter than dry
air contrary to the general opinion. 1t
feels heavier to the human body. But
the number of gas molecules in a given
space, provided the temperature is con-
slant, remains the same regardless OF
What tney are. ana the water VapOr
molecule is lighter than those of the
gasses which 1t displaces.
Like Gigantic Chimney.
The accumulation Of this wet light
air is the building up of 'loW.' 1t
rises to the point where it is chilled
in the colder regions of the higher lati-
tudes, pressing downward upon the still
accommodating lighter air over the
doldrums area. The region Of storm
birth might be described as a gigantic
chimney, with walls of colder air, in
stead Of brick.
Thus strong air movement is set
up. Here enters the influence Of the
rotation of the earth to start-if it
happens to be north Of the equator-an
anti-clockwise rotary motion which al
ways is characteristic of such storms.
In the center is an area of very low
pressure-or very light air-with strong
