Comment:

March: Observations from 22 to 31 discontinued on account of the very serious illness of Captain Rimmintogton. April: Observations very much interrupted by sickness among the officers of the department. May: Observations interrupted between 4-9 by sickness. October: A most tremendous hurricane, lasting from the 21-24 of this Month. November: 22 the wind increased to a hurricane; the barometer fell very low, and the mercury oscillated very much, between the hours of 5 p.m., on the 22 and 1 a.m. on the 23. The night was excessively dark, and the wind came in squalls. Observations for November, December (1853) and January (1854) not quite full, on account of the instruments not being in good condition.
