To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
— Very little reliable informal tion is obtainable with respect to cyclones in the South Atlantic. Sufficient seems known, however, to confirm their existence and to show that they follow much the same laws as cyclones in the South Indian Ocean, although more remote from the equator. Fig. 15 shows the track of a Norwegian barque, the "Dagny," Captain Olsen, from 27th June 1891 to 26th July 1891, while on the passage from Leith to Buenos Ayres. On 1st July she fell in with light variable winds, ...which held for eleven days ; then the wind came out with hurricane violence from the north, and she was run before the gale under bare poles. As the wind shifted to north-west, west, south-west, south, and south-east, little by little, her course was altered so as to bring the wind right aft. She thus ran round the circumference of a circle, and, ten days after the cyclone struck her, had arrived at the position whence she kept away before the gale. This cyclone was evidently moving to the south-east ; and, by manoeuvring to keep the wind aft, the vessel decreased her distance from the centre, as evidenced by the decreasing wind and rising barometer.
