The common course is E.S.E., hut if the wind is S.S.W. the course should be S.E. instead of E.S.E., particularly after a N.E. or Nor- therly wind ; that wind forces tiie water out of the Straits oi Beile Isle so strong when the wind changes to the Southwest or Souih it" relaxes back again, which causes a very strong current from the South running to the North, and hems the mciriner in shjre ; the result is, his vessel is stranded or a intal wrecK before he knows where lie is situated* I throw out this hint for Newfoundlanders in ])articu!ar, as they generally keep too near ilie coast.
