The final storm of the season followed a generally north-northeasterly course from the Gulf of Mexico northward along the U.S. East Coast between November 1 and November 3, dissipating over New England.The storm crossed southern Florida, and based on observations from Hatteras Inlet, North Carolina, and observations from the ship "Honduras", it is believed to have attained hurricane intensity.The hurricane made landfall in eastern North Carolina and proceeded up the coast before crossing eastern Long Island and coming ashore in southern New England.
