Many a time had Captain Bean weathered Hatteras in a southeaster, but never had he met such a storm of feminine fury as this. |
As this small bit of land is low-lying, more than once when a southeaster has raged, the tiny isle has become entirely submerged. |
The southeaster sends endless battalions of waves rolling up there when it blows. |
Meantime the southeaster, dead ahead and blowing harder every minute, was sending its seas further and further aft. |
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. |
Inside another hour there was no doubt that we were in for a southeaster. |
