Excerpt from Histoire de l'Algérie par Ses Monuments
La mer n'est pas toujours bleue et souriante en ces parages; des tempêtes soudaines 3° sur prennent le navigateur; de folles brises, des calmes subits forcent à chaque instant à changer la voile. Mare sevum, disait encore le grand peintre Salluste. Mer cruelle, en effet, qui dispersa mainte ¿otte romaine revenant d'afrique, chargée de butin, qui engloutit nombre de vaisseaux de César et de charles-quint, et qui inspirait encore à nos marins de 1850 des craintes quasi superstitieuses.
