Here Van Horn was swept off his legs by an avalanche of return boys who had cluttered the deck with the first squall. The squirming mass, of which he was part, slid down into the barbed wire of the port rail beneath the surface of the sea.
And while flying through the air, he continued to squall his rage.
Through the darkness, as the squall spent itself, came the slatting of the half-lowered mainsail, the shrill voices of the boat's crew, a curse of Borckman's, and, dominating all, Skipper's voice, shouting:
And so they stood while another
squall, with flying leaves and scattered drops of rain, rattled past.
So it was that he slept, while the rain still poured on deck and the yacht plunged and rolled in the brief, sharp sea caused by the
squall.
The three men stepped outside in time to see the two schooners go hastily about and head off shore, dropping mainsails and flying jibs on the run in the teeth of the squall that heeled them far over on the whitened water.
The squall had cleared away, but the sky remained overcast.

squall was the parting shot of the gale, which died out immediately after, leaving us free to make for the shore, which we lost no time in attempting.
NEW DELHI, May 4 (KUNA) -- The Indian Meteorological Department on Friday issued a fresh warning of further thunderstorms and
squalls in dozens of states as the death toll in the devastating dust storm that hit north India since Wednesday rose to 124 dead and left around 500 injured.
Trooper Adam Reed said investigators believe that "passing snow
squalls played a role in causing the crash."
-- Beneath the orange haze of Saturn's moon Titan, methane rains from the sky and pools in lakes--and might even burst forth from massive storm
squalls like those seen on Earth.
-- At least 35 vehicles were involved in two separate pileups on Interstate 93 after some fast-moving snow
squalls caused whiteout conditions Friday morning.
The city would also witness
squalls that are likely to disrupt flights," said Dr.
