Which sentence in this excerpt from "The Open Boat" by Stephen Crane uses personification?

As the correspondent paddled, he saw the captain let himself down to bottom and leave the boat. Then the correspondent performed his one little marvel of the voyage. A large wave caught him and flung him with ease and supreme speed completely over the boat and far beyond it. It struck him even then as an event in gymnastics, and a true miracle of the sea. An overturned boat in the surf is not a plaything to a swimming man.

The correspondent arrived in water that reached only to his waist, but his condition did not enable him to stand for more than a moment.

    "A large wave caught him and flung him with ease and supreme speed completely over the bpoat and far beyond it."; A wave is not human but it "caught him" and "flung him".

    Although if this is not an option is may also be "It struck him with ease as an event in gymnastics, and a true miaracle of the sea." because it says that it struck him. I would need someone to decide between these two but I would say the first response.
