Abstract
DURING a voyage from Southampton to Trinidad and back by R.M.S. Oruba the period of the waves was taken several times daily, and from this their speed was calculated. The speed of the wind was ascertained by means of a Robinson anemometer (lent by the Meteorological Office), due allowance being made for the speed of the ship and the direction of the wind.
