Bush washes up ashore

It was cold - wind blew - his shirt was wet. Bush heard and recognized the sound of the waves before he saw them. He knew he was on some kind of beach, but did nor feel like troubling himself to remember where - he was too sick. "...must have swallowed too much salt water", he thought and retched. The salt water burned his throat.; It was a bad feeling and it wasn't going to go away any too soon.
