The sea spouted on the reefs and thundered against the shore.
About noon we sighted a line of jagged reef, like blackened teeth, that seemed to bar the entrance to the bay.

Inside, comparatively smooth water stretched eight or nine miles to the head of the bay.

A gap in the reef appeared, and we made for it.

But the fates had another rebuff for us.

The wind shifted and blew from the east right out of the bay.
