The relations of the winds to the margin in the Southern Hemisphere, will be exactly the reverse of their relation in the Northern. Thus: It is the southern margin of the storm south of the Equator, that exhibits an easterly; the western margin a southerly; the northern margin a westerly, and the eastern margin a northerly wind. Hence, each portion of the hurricane having its appropriate wind, there results, according to the law of the rotation of revolving gales, a very simple rule for determining the bearing of the center of the storm from the ship, viz: Look to the wind’s eye and set its bearing by compass, the _eighth_ point to the right thereof when in the Northern Hemisphere; but to the left of the wind’s direction when in the Southern Hemisphere, will be the bearing of the storm’s center. Thus, in the Northern Hemisphere, from an easterly wind, which characterizes the northern margin of the storm, its center will bear south; from a northerly wind the center will bear east; from a westerly wind it will bear north, and from a southerly wind, west. But in the Southern Hemisphere, from an easterly wind, the center of the storm bears north; from a southerly wind the center bears east; from a westerly wind, south; and from a northerly wind, west. The above rule is perfectly clear and definite; but as it is especially important to avoid the center of the storm,—its most dangerous part,—the following table shows at a glance its relative bearing in each Hemisphere. ═════════════════════════════════╦══════════════════════════════════ IN THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE. ║ IN THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE. ─────────────┬───────────────────╫─────────────┬──────────────────── If the wind │ The center of the ║ If the wind │ The center of the be— │ storm will bear ║ be— │ storm will bear │ from the ship— ║ │ from the ship— ─────────────┼───────────────────╫─────────────┼──────────────────── North. │ East. ║ North. │ West.
