' Now the seas were more awesome in their raging insanity. Each mountain of glassy grey rose high above the raft shielding it for a few seconds from the whip of the wind its crest blowing off like the plume of an Etruscan helmet before it slid down collapsing upon itself in the tumbling roar of breaking water.'
