Men of the Deep Waters - William Hope Hodgson

Directly afterwards, a shrill, yelling noise seemed to fill the whole sky with a deafening, piercing sound. I glanced hastily over the port quarter. In that direction the whole surface of the ocean seemed to be torn up into the air in monstrous clouds of spray. The yelling sound passed into a vast scream, and the next instant the cyclone was upon us. (Summary by William Hope Hodgson, from "Through the Vortex of the Cyclone")
