In the story "The Open Boat," during the crew's rescue, they were met with trouble with the cold, the current, and the surf. What quotes help with these conflicts?

Throughout the story, there are a number of references to the cold that the crew had to contend with. For example, on page 7, Crane describes the "cold sea water washing back and forth in the boat." From this, it is easy to imagine how uncomfortable it must have been to have one's clothes and skin constantly in contact with the coldness of the water. Later on, on page 9, Crane writes that "The wind brought coldness with it, and the men felt it." This description emphasizes how the coldness of the water is compounded by the coldness of the biting wind. On page 13, Crane writes that "The January water was icy. The correspondent thought immediately that it was colder than he had expected to find it off the coast of Florida." The description of the water as "icy," whereas before it was "cold," suggests that the conditions have become gradually colder. One can imagine the feeling of ice touching the skin and empathize with the crew who are exposed to this degree of inescapable coldness. In the same paragraph, the coldness of the water is described as "sad; it was very sad," and, at the end of the paragraph, we have the simple sentence, "It was cold." The repetition of "sad" in combination with the simple sentence "It was cold" suggests a resigned hopelessness.
The problems caused by the current are suggested on pages 13 and 14. The correspondent is described as "in the grasp of this strange new enemy—a current." The current in this quotation is personified as an enemy to suggest that it is consciously and menacingly grasping the correspondent. The correspondent is here helpless and unable to escape the grasp. However, a wave comes to the rescue of the correspondent and pulls him from the grasp of the "small, deadly current." The word "deadly" suggests that the correspondent has had a fortuitous escape.
The surf is also described throughout the story as a problem that the crew has to contend with. For example, on the first page, the waves are described as "frightfully rapid and tall; and each boiling, white top was a problem in the small boat." The size of the waves here is emphasized through the juxtaposition of the "tall" waves and the "small boat." Words like "rapid" and "boiling" also suggest danger and relentlessness. On page 4, the surf is described as continually "pushing and turning and washing the boat," suggesting that the boat, and its crew, is completely at the mercy of the surf. The repetition of the word "and" implies that the surf is relentless, causing problem after problem. On page 5, the deafening roar of the waves is further described as a "low thunder . . . beating the shore," suggesting again a relentless violence.
