On the 29th the 'Walvis Bay' line was started and worked out to WS 1079, after which further station work was delayed by a strong southerly gale which set in. The ship was hove-to for two days while the gale increased to force nine (Beaufort), and not until the afternoon of 2 October did it abate sufficiently to permit us to continue observations, whereupon stations WS 1080 and 1081 were completed, and the ship sailed to Walvis Bay.
