Toward
the
end
of
autumn
,
if
after
prolonged
rainy
and
windy
weather
,
the
barometer
begins
to
rise
,
that
rising
announces
the
passage
of
the
wind
to
the
north
and
the
approach
of
the
frost
.
Such
are
the
general
consequences
to
draw
from
the
indications
of
this
precious
instrument
.
Dick
Sand
knew
all
that
perfectly
well
,
as
he
had
ascertained
for
himself
in
different
circumstances
of
his
sailor
's
life
,
which
made
him
very
skilful
in
putting
himself
on
his
guard
against
all
contingencies
.
Now
,
just
toward
the
20th
of
February
,
the
oscillations
of
the
barometrical
column
began
to
preoccupy
the
young
novice
,
who
noted
them
several
times
a
day
with
much
care
.
In
fact
,
the
barometer
began
to
fall
in
a
slow
and
continuous
manner
,
which
presages
rain
;
but
,
this
rain
being
delayed
,
Dick
Sand
concluded
from
that
,
that
the
bad
weather
would
last
.
That
is
what
must
happen
.
But
the
rain
was
the
wind
,
and
in
fact
,
at
that
date
,
the
breeze
freshened
so
much
that
the
air
was
displaced
with
a
velocity
of
sixty
feet
a
second
,
say
thirty-one
miles
an
hour
.
Dick
Sand
was
obliged
to
take
some
precautions
so
as
not
to
risk
the
"
Pilgrim
's
"
masting
and
sails
.
Already
he
had
the
royal
,
the
fore-staff
,
and
the
flying-jib
taken
in
,
and
he
resolved
to
do
the
same
with
the
top-sail
,
then
take
in
two
reefs
in
the
top-sail
.
This
last
operation
must
present
certain
difficulties
with
a
crew
of
little
experience
.
Hesitation
would
not
do
,
however
,
and
no
one
hesitated
.
