This chapter uses creates a very dark and gothic atmosphere through the weather described. A storm arrives and with it a mysterious ship. I felt that the weather certainly created a very negative image of the ship and the fact that the ship is being steered very strangely certainly makes the reader feel a sense of foreboding about the ship.
When the ship finally gets to the harbour it is firt of all very interesting because it was doubtful that the ship would make it. This already builds on the sense of mystery surrounding the vessel. The dead body is a shock and confirms these doubts. However, it is still unclear to who the ship belongs and so on. Therefore there is still a feeling of great tension.
