The Sea Princess

A ship sails west in gusty winds, in thunder and lightning which heaven sends. In battle with the sea with storm bolts descending, wind wrestles its sails, its tall poles bending. The captain of the vessel eyes his crew of twelve in fear, while they watch him struggle with the clipper ship's steer. The clouds are growing ominous, blackening the sky, now swirling together around the vicious storm's eye. As the lightning flash rapidly, just missing the deck, the captain steers vigorously, trying to evade a tragic wreck. Suddenly, a wave sweeps the ship from behind, and its enormous white sails began to rip and unwind. The poles snap quickly, and propels away, as the wind pushes the vessel into a small deserted bay. In haste, another wave sweeps the deck again. It forces the ship ashore, and pulls its crew within. The wave crashes the princess into a giant gray stone. And here she lay shipwrecked, resting alone.
