CHAPTER VII. THE TYPHOON

THE storm that struck the Halfmoon took her entirely1 unaware2. It had sprung, apparently3, out of a perfectly4 clear sky. Both the lookout5 and the man at the wheel were ready to take oath that they had scanned the horizon not a half-minute before Second Mate Theriere had come racing6 forward bellowing8 for all hands on deck and ordering a sailor below to report the menacing conditions to Captain Simms.
Before that officer reached the deck Theriere had the entire crew aloft taking in sail; but though they worked with the desperation of doomed9 men they were only partially10 successful in their efforts.
The sky and sea had assumed a sickly yellowish color, except for the mighty11 black cloud that raced toward them, low over the water. The low moaning sound that had followed the first appearance of the storm, gave place to a sullen12 roar, and then, of a sudden, the thing struck the Halfmoon, ripping her remaining canvas from her as if it had been wrought13 from tissue paper, and with the flying canvas, spars, and cordage went the mainmast, snapping ten feet above the deck, and crashing over the starboard bow with a noise and jar that rose above the bellowing of the typhoon.
