24/30 Lord! who can endure the terror of thy storm!... Yesterday's sea was as molehills to mountains compared with the sea to-day.... Twenty-four days out to-day. Noon almost calm for half an hour, when, on a sudden, the wind shifted to the northeast, when it blew such a hurricane that every one on board declared they never saw its equal. For four hours it blew so hard that all the sea was in a perfect foam, and resembled a severe snowstorm more than a dry blow. |
