The system was absorbed by a frontal boundary by 00:00 UTC on May 19, about east-southeast of Bermuda. Hurricane Two Data from ships and nearby Windward Islands indicate that a tropical depression formed approximately southeast of Barbados around 06:00 UTC on August 16. The depression tracked north-northwestward and intensified into a tropical storm around 00:00 UTC on August 18, while situated between the islands of Antigua and Barbuda.

Charlottetown in Prince Edward Island received of rain over a three-day span. In St. John's, Newfoundland, wind gusts averaged and caused extensive property damage. Total losses were estimated in the thousands of dollars. Communication lines across the island were downed, though the greatest effects were felt offshore. Gale-force winds and rough seas wrecked multiple schooners off the coast of Newfoundland, claiming an estimated 50 lives. Every ship that set sail within a day of the storm was damaged. Six people drowned when Walter sank near Trepassey.
