Somewhere in the Southern Atlantic Ocean
Title
Sounds of the storm towards the Antarctic Circle
Short description
Georg Forster describes the sounds of the storm hitting the ship as it sails south from the Cape of Good Hope.
Text on source
The decks, and the floors of every cabin were however continually wet; and the howl of the storm in the rigging, the roar of the waves, added to the violent agitation of the vessel, which precluded almost every occupation, were new and awful scenes, but at the same severely felt, and highly disagreeable.
