VI.—This storm in the Gulf of Mexico evidently existed on the morning of the 5th, at which time pressure was diminishing at distant stations on the Gulf coast, but no marine reports are at hand to locate the center more exactly. The increasing northeast winds on the coast of Louisiana and Texas allowed that a hurricane was moving northward on the 6th. During Thursday, 7th, the center moved northward over the southeastern portion of Louisiana, doing much damage over a small area, but rapidly breaking up as it moved inland. The course of the center was quite irregular. On the afternoon of the 8th it was central in southeastern Alabama, and the area of revolving winds with rain continued to remain south of Tennessee until the 11th, by which time pressure had become nearly normal and the storm-center had disaoneared.
