6. That in the same _Meridians_, but to the Southwards of the Æquator, being that Tract lying between _Sumatra_ and _Java_ to the West, and _New Guinea_ to the East, the same Northerly _Monsoons_ are observ'd, but with this difference, that the inclination of the Northerly is towards the N. West, and of the Southerly towards the S. E. but the _plagæ venti_ are not more constant here than in the former, _viz._ variable five or six Points; besides the times of the Change of these Winds, are not the same as in the _Chinese_ Seas, but about a Month or six Weeks later. 7. That these contrary Winds do not shift all at once, but in some places the time of the Change is attended with Calms, in others with variable Winds; and it is particularly remarkable, that the end of the Westerly _Monsoon_ on the Coast of _Coromandel_, and the two last Months of the Southerly _Monsoon_ in the Seas of _China_, are very subject to be tempestuous: The violence of these Storms is such, that they seem to be of the Nature of the _West-India Hurricanes_, and render the Navigation of these parts very unsafe about that time of the Year. These Tempests are by our Seamen usually term'd, _The breaking up of the Monsoons_. By reason of the shifting of these Winds, all those that sail in these Seas, are oblig'd to observe the Seasons proper for their Voyages, and so doing they fail not of a fair Wind and speedy Passage; but if so be they chance to out-stay their time, till the contrary _Monsoon_ sets in, as it frequently happens, they are forc'd to give over the hopes of accomplishing their intended Voyages, and either return to the Port from whence they came, or else put in to some other Harbour, there to spend the time till the Winds shall come favourable.
