“Death is at all times solemn, but never so much so as at sea. The man is near you- at your side -you hear his voice, and in an instant he is gone, and nothing but a vacancy shows his loss.“
“You miss his form, and the sound of his voice, for habit had made them almost necessary to you, and each of your senses feel the loss”
Not the full passage (goodreads character limit) but it’s still powerful.
