(1) The figure(s) of speech used here is/are SIMILE, ONOMATOPOEIA & ALLITERATION. (2) Here, the strong and tyrannous storm blast seems to chase the ship with all its might, that is — the storm is carrying the ship towards it's own direction. (3) The ship's locomotion indirectly conveys emotions of anxiety, tension,
and nervousness in the minds of the sailors, since they have been caught in a storm.
