Those in the Bay of Bengal andOhina Seas being in North Latitude, revolve the left-handed way, sam« as in the North Atlantic. So thatin meeting one of these Hurricanes, it must be considered, in the first place whether the Ship is in North01 South Latitude, and then to act accordingly. If the Ship is in South Latitude, the rule is to heave toon the Starboard Tack, with her head towards the Focus; and supposing the Wind at East, the right handwill point to the Focus bearing North. The Ship would then be on the Southern verge of the Storm Circle,and as the Vind veers to the Southward she will luff up and bow the sea. The Barometer acta in a aim>iiar manner as before stated.
