Abstract
THE hurricane season, here reckoned from July 25 to October 25, went by without damage so far as the Windward and Virgin Islands are concerned, though not without disastrous examples of the phenomenon from which it derives its name elsewhere. Two cyclones of the ordinary kind have in fact visited these seas during the above period; and although neither of them included the island of St. Thomas in its range, yet they passed sufficiently near to make us aware of their existence, and to create considerable alarm among the inhabitants.
