So violent was the ship's motion, it was impossible to leave our bunks; beside, sundry trunks were loosened from their hold, and were sliding about the cabin in wild confusion. An immense retinue of small articles almost immediately followed--things which their owners had unsuspectingly secreted under their bunks, ...
