Geoff wrote: "It illustrates the sequence just after Leopard sights the Waakzamheid coming out of the squall, context ... directly to windward, emerging from a black squall with lurid light behind, he saw the Waakzamheid ... The Leopard turned round on her heel so fast that Babbington's dog was flung outwards... the ship steadied on her course, right before the wind... It is getting on for sunset, while the spindrift-streaked sea is described earlier, and Leopard is pitching heavily. Dramatic stuff, and I'm keen on this scene.”
