To the Editor of the " Evening Mail.'
Sir, — I quite believe the statement of your correspondent " A Mariner " that he Understands Captain Edwin's very plainly* expressed weather warnings. A boy of very ordinary capacity could do that. But, Sir, it would be more to the purpose if he would tell us the effect of such warnings, other than to mislead. If he would aay, from his own observation, or that of any other ancient how often, say out of a dozen forecasts, the' weather predicted has followed. After closely watching these warnings myself, I have come to the conclusion that their fulfilment is quite exceptional, and that they are issued either too late or too early to be of practical use either to mariners or to landlubbers. — I am, &c, B September 30, 1879.
