southeaster

Perhaps it is wrong of us to curse this wind, for on board the Fram they are rejoicing that a southeaster has at last sprung up.

As this small bit of land is low-lying, more than once when a southeaster has raged, the tiny isle has become entirely submerged.

The dread of the southeasters was ever present with the sailors.

Then a strong southeaster was blowing, and snow was falling.

At three it rose one one-hundredth of an inch, and almost simultaneously, looking over the weather rail, was to be seen the oncoming northwester, never long in debt to a southeaster.
