After hitting Guadeloupe, the hurricane turned west-northwest, passing about southwest of Saint Kitts. The hurricane steadily neared Puerto Rico as it paralleled the southern coastline, and on October 14 made its closest point of approach, to the southwest portion of the island. It subsequently turned to the northwest, going through the Mona Passage before making landfall near the present-day Dominican Republic province of Samaná. Late on October 15, it reached the Atlantic Ocean and after passing about east of Grand Turk Island; it is estimated to have recurved to the northeast. The hurricane passed southeast of Bermuda on October 18, and was last observed two days later about southeast of Cape Race, Newfoundland, Canada.
