Trató de respirar, pero le entró agua en los maltratados pulmones y tuvo que toser, en un ataque torturante, hasta despejar los pasos de aire. Entonces fue casi como si el dulce aire fuera demasiado fuerte para ella. Quemaba como el fuego. Poco a poco logró dominar su respiración, pero las olas surgieron inesperadamente, ahogándola otra vez. Tuvo que aprender a regular cada inspiración según el ritmo del océano.
She tried to breathe but took water into her straining lungs and coughed and wheezed in agonized paroxysms until she cleared her air passages, and then it was almost as though the sweet sea air was too strong and rich for her, it burned like fire and she gasped and laboured like an asthmatic. Slowly she managed to control her breathing, but the waves came at her unexpectedly out of the darkness, breaking over her head, smothering her again so she had to train herself to regulate each breath to the rhythm of the ocean.
