Pagina 247 - At this rate it held blowing till Wednesday, about one o'clock in the afternoon, which was that day seven-night on which it began; so that it might be called one continued storm from Wednesday noon to Wednesday noon: in all which time, there was not one interval of time in which a sailor would not have acknowledged it blew a storm ; and in that time two such terrible nights as I have described.
Pagina 360 - Evaporation increases in a prodigiously rapid ratio with the velocity of the wind; and any thing which retards the motion of the latter is very efficacious in diminishing the amount of the former; the same surface, which in a calm state of the air would exhale 100. parts of moisture, would yield 125 in a moderate breeze, and 150 in a high wind.
