As this small bit of land is low-lying, more than once when a southeaster has raged, the tiny isle has become entirely submerged. |
Many a time had Captain Bean weathered Hatteras in a southeaster, but never had he met such a storm of feminine fury as this. |
Meantime the southeaster, dead ahead and blowing harder every minute, was sending its seas further and further aft. |
Such was the case for the first four or five days, when they were wafted steadily up the stream by a strong southeaster. |
A strong southeaster blowing at gale force complicated the rescue operation. |
Perhaps it is wrong of us to curse this wind, for on board the Fram they are rejoicing that a southeaster has at last sprung up. |
