BOMBAY GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.
Ill
“At Malie the gale began at SE. the afternoon of the 11th;
gradually the wind drew round by S. to W. and NW. with them,
and it was from this last quarter, about 6 to 10 a.m. on the 12th, that
they experienced its greatest violence.
“ We think it was undoubtedly a hurricane, and that it passed
to the N. of us, and right over the Seychelles. The accounts given
of the wind, &c. at Seychelles are very imperfect, it being very
high land all round ; and during the worst of the weather the town was
in deep distress, from a vast torrent, mingled with huge rocks, pass
ing over it, killing 70 persons.
“Our barometer was 29*40 at 2 a.m. on the 12th, at Seychelles
29*50 at 9 a.m.
“ The ship behaved remarkably well: nothing broke or gave way.
We lost our two waist cutters, for the sea was very heavy, and sweeping
at times almost over us.
“ But the wind was steady and sea regular, and as soon as the wind
inclined to the E. of SE., the barometer began to lift.”
