Zoch of the Weather Bureau laying out the season. Eleven tropical disturbances, he writes, and then he numbers them with Roman numerals and labels each one by when it happened. I. Hurricane of August 21–25. II. Hurricane of August 23–29. Read those two headings again. They overlap. For three days, August 23rd, 24th and 25th, both storms were out there at once.
