Wind and Weather

by Alexander McAdie

On the storm track in front of center,—Steam and sailing vessels: Bring the wind two points on the starboard quarter, note the course and hold it, and run for the left semicircle, and when in that semicircle manoeuvre as above.

On the storm track, in rear of center,—Avoid the center by the best practicable route, having due regard to the tendency of cyclones to recurve to the southward and eastward."
