Abstract
I. IN the Eastern seas the earliest signs of a typhoon are clouds of the cirrus type—looking like fine hair, feathers or small pale white tufts of wool—travelling from the east or thereabout, their direction backing towards the north, a slight rise in the barometer, clear and dry but hot weather, and light winds. This fine weather lasts for days, and the existence of a typhoon aFa great distance contributes therefore to the safety of ships at sea, a fact that is not sufficiently appreciated hy mariners.
