Somewhere in the Cook's Strait
Title
The sounds of the storm in Cook's Strait
Short description
Georg Forster describes the terrifying sounds of the storm.
Text on source
In the other cabins the beds were perfectly soaked in water, whilst the tremendous roar of the waves, the creaking of the timbers, and the rolling motion deprived us of all hopes of repose. To complete this catalogue of horrors, we heard the voices of sailors from time to time louder than the blustering winds or the raging ocean itself, uttering horrible vollies of curses and oaths.
