The Hurricane Guide by William Radcliff Birt is today’s Free eBook of the Day.

Today’s book is a guide to navigating hurricanes by seas. While we don’t advise such actions, it’s an interesting read if you’ve still got power for downloading. (Don’t forget to charge up your eReader!). Here is an excerpt from the book:

It is the object of the following pages to exhibit, so far as observation may enable us, and in as brief a manner as possible, the connexion, if any, that exists between those terrific meteorological phænomena known as “revolving storms,” and those more extensive and occult but not less important phænomena, “atmospheric waves.”

Project Gutenberg has the free download.
