South ofBermuda the temperature was below 15°. And it was even colder(12°) off the Bahama Bank, falling to 10° in the northeast ProvidenceChannel, and probably all along the continental slope, with a tem-perature of only about 5° off Chesapeake Bay at this level. Theextension of a tongue of 12° northward from the Bahama Banksuggests that part of the cold water, which is banked up against thelatter, is drawn here into the general northerly drift of the Antilles CAPE HATTERA-
