'Translation: In the evening, clouds are turbulent, storm bearing. The sound of waves is loud,and black clouds are beginning to spread over the shoreline. As the evening wears on, the full moon is revealed when the clouds part. Suddenly a cry is heard: \'Help us! Help us!\' But the cry is so faint that the audience is uncertain whether it was a voice or only thesound of
waves.'
