Soon after that the wind arose by little and little, so that in less than half-an-hour it blew a most dreadful hurricane; the sea was all on a sudden covered over with foam and froth; the shore was covered with the breach of the water, the trees were torn up by the roots, and a terrible storm it was. This held about three hours, and then began to abate; and in two hours more it was quite calm, and began to rain very hard.
De zee was plotseling met schuim bedekt, de golven sloegen over het strand, de boomen werden ontworteld; en deze verschrikkelijke storm duurde omtrent drie uren, toen begon hij te bedaren, en twee uren later was het weder kalm, en begon het geweldig te regenen.
