- "In the Wieling the fore-flood runs in-shore in a southerly direction, as the finished ebb bends round against the sun; and is, at times, so strong, that ships coming in, close-hauled on the larboard tack, are frequently obliged to anchor on account of it, until the stream runs inward in the direction of the channel, which, as before stated, takes place much earlier than at sea."
