Impact of the torrent on the narrator and wave walker:
The impact was that due to a huge explosion torrent of both white and green water broke over the ship and this explosion shook the deck. The narrator’s head hit against the wheel and he was badly injured, his tooth broke and his left rib bone also broke and he was thrown on the board due to a heavy wave. The boat was almost sinking and he saw that wave walker was capsizing but he still managed to hold the railing and grabbed the steering wheel.
Answer:
A torrent of green and white waves broke over the ship. He became aware of flying overboard and sinking below the waves. The narrator was beginning to lose consciousness. He felt quite peaceful in his resignation. But his head popped out of the water and he saw the Wavewalker was capsizing with her masts almost horizontal. Then a wave hurled her upright, he grabbed the guard rails and sailed through the air into the Wavewalker's boom. Subsequent waves tossed him around the deck like a rag doll. He was injured but he managed to find the wheel, line up the stern for the next wave and hang on.
