Towards the end of July, 1907, there was a severe gale, the wind blowing up-channel, heaping the seas to the base of the cliffs and leaving a lagoon at the turn of the tide.

1907 年 7 月底， 刮起了大风， 风吹向海峡， 将海水堆积到悬崖底部， 在退潮时留下一个泻湖。

By and by the wind blew from the shore; so I had to hurry back with all speed, for I knew that at the turn of the tide, I should find it hard work to get to land.

渐渐的，风从岸边吹来，所以我必须全速赶回去，因为我知道转潮时，上岸就变得很艰难了。
