The sixth hurricane brought rough seas and heavy precipitation to northeastern Mexico and south Texas, with flooding reported inland.

[2] On June 7, ships in the Gulf of Mexico reported a low pressure area with a closed circulation about 100 mi (160 km) southeast of Port Eads, Louisiana.

[5] Around 12:00 UTC on the following day, a ship observed a barometric pressure of 995 mbar (29.4 inHg), the lowest known in relation to the storm.

The system slowly weakened and emerged into the Atlantic Ocean from the Outer Banks of North Carolina, while still at tropical storm intensity.

[6] Some locations in eastern North Carolina reported strong winds, particularly at Fayetteville, where there was a "severe local storm".

[4] A ship initially encountered this storm about 65 mi (105 km) north-northeast of San Salvador Island in the Bahamas on July 12.

[4] Around 12:00 UTC on July 15, the system peaked with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 km/h),[5] based on an observation from Savannah, Georgia.

[4] A tropical depression formed about 140 mi (230 km) east-southeast of Ocean City, Maryland, early on September 2.

[5] Based on observations from ships on September 3, the cyclone peaked with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 km/h) and a minimum barometric pressure of 1,007 mbar (29.7 inHg).

[4] A trough of low pressure in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico developed into a tropical depression about 60 mi (100 km) west-southwest of Cedar Key, Florida, on September 10.

Moving generally westward, the storm intensified into a Category 1 hurricane on the modern day Saffir–Simpson scale early on September 12.

After entering the Atlantic early on October 5, the low began strengthening and soon reached the equivalency in intensity to a tropical storm.

Around 00:00 UTC on October 6, the system transitioned into a tropical cyclone while situated about 260 mi (420 km) southeast of Cape Fear in North Carolina.

[5] Late on October 6, a vessel observed a barometric pressure of 996 mbar (29.4 inHg), the lowest in relation to the stop.

[5] Despite remaining well offshore during its tropical cyclone stage, a wind speed of 46 mph (74 km/h) was observed at Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.

[4] Moving west-northwestward, the storm strengthened steadily, reaching winds of 70 mph (110 km/h) before making landfall near Cancún, Quintana Roo, early on October 13.

The system weakened slightly over land and while situated in the Gulf of Mexico just north of the Yucatán Peninsula, but began re-intensifying later that day.

The hurricane made landfall on central Padre Island between Corpus Christi and Port Mansfield in Texas late on October 16 with winds of 100 mph (155 km/h),[5] estimated based on a storm surge of 6 ft (1.8 m).

Thirteen people, including the captain, were rescued by personnel from the United States Life-Saving Service station in Port Aransas, though six other crew members were lost.

Considerable damage also occurred in due to strong winds and tides in Brownsville and Port Isabel.

[4] The Jamaica Hurricane of 1912 A low pressure area in the southwestern Caribbean Sea developed into a tropical storm by 06:00 UTC on November 11.

[4] Slow intensification took place after classification as a hurricane, though after recurving toward northeastward, the storm began to quicken in strengthening.

At South Negril Point, a barometric pressure of 965 mbar (28.5 inHg) was observed,[4] the lowest known in relation to the storm.

The system then westward across the Caribbean, before dissipating on November 22 about 115 mi (185 km) southwest of Grand Cayman.

[9] Strong winds generated by the storm destroyed approximately 25% of banana trees,[10] while telegraph lines were downed in a number of places.
