Waves pounded her forefoot with a sodden, heavy impact; the wind found a flute to blow in every cranny; passengers in the saloon struggled to keep their chairs from skidding together. Paderewski played on. Suddenly three great seas in succession struck the tottering vessel; she shivered, climbed a wave, and jerked to starboard with a lurch that spilled the gathering in the salon out of their seats.
