Not illustrated. 1852 edition. Excerpt: ...of the storm always exhibits an easterly wind, the eastern margin a southerly wind, the southern margin & westerly wind, and the western margin a northerly wind; we shall also further find upon dividing the storm into quadrants by diameters drawn from the northern to the southern, and from the eastern to the western margins, that upon the northern semi-diameter, or radius, the wind will be east; on the eastern, south; on the southern, west; and on the western, north; each portion of the cyclone will possess its appropriate wind. 4. The relation of the winds to the margins and semi-diameters in the southern hemisphere, will be exactly the reverse of their relations in the northern; thus it is the southern semi-diameter and margin of a storm, south of the equator, that exhibits an easterly wind, the western a southerly, the northern a westerly, and the eastern a northerly.. 5. This arrangement of the winds in a hurricane will conduct us to a very simple rule for determining the position of a vessel in a cyclone, and as a consequence the bearing of the centre of the storm from the ship. From an easterly wind in the northern hemisphere, the centre will bear south, or right points, reckoned in the same direction as the apparent course of the svn, an easterly wind characterizing the northern margin; from a northerly wind the centre will bear east; from a westerly wind it will bear north; and from a southerly wind, west; thus the direction of the wind only in a revolving storm, will announce to the commander of the vessel, two very important points, his exact position in the cyclone, and the bearing of its centre from his ship. f-. The same simple and very perspicuous rule holds good in the southern hemisphere. From an easterly wind, the centre of...
