    After reading and noticing the words shrill, howling, noise of wind I feel the author is expressing A: forbidding and a bit frightening.

    I don't find the words to be light-hearted, not unexpected surprises since he seems to know what wind in rigging sounds like. It doesn't lead me to want to explore it with the words shrill & howl.

    That's my interpretation.
