In Chapter Ten, the lightning that strikes the ship is heavily foreshadowed. First, Bulkeley has stolen and sold the "Snow Harris lightning-conductor", which exposes the ship to lightning. Second, the discussion of lightning strikes at sea that transpires during one dinner leave most of the crew quite uncomfortable.
