I was standing on the beach, when a stiff south-wester was stirring up the billows of the mighty deep. The sea ran awfully high, and the broad sweeping waves, rushing on like a flood, fell over in a thousand plunging waterfalls, resounding like thunder. The light spray was flying in the air, and the shingly shore, as far as the eye could reach, was a sheet of snow-white foam. My mind was moved with the dread magnificence of the scene. I felt, though the floods had "lifted up their voice" and "their waves," that "the Lord on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea." The shore was crowded with people; for though the sea was so rough, and the wind so high, the sun shone brightly, and a spectacle of an arresting kind was at hand.
