The suspense can be seen in the constant arrival of bigger and bigger waves and the humor can be seen at the moment when the crew thinks they saw a group of people who would rescue them, but it was just a group of tourists oblivious to the danger of the crew.
"The Open Boat," tells the story of a crew that had the boat that had its ship sunk and is in a small boat, having to survive the strong waves and all the dangers that the sea has.
An excerpt from the book that shows a moment of suspense is:
"A particular danger of the sea is the fact that after successfully getting through one wave, you discover that there is another behind it. The next wave is just as nervously anxious and purposeful to overturn boats. In a ten-foot boat one can get a good idea of the great force of the sea. As each gray wall of water approached, it shut all else from the view of the men in the boat. It was not difficult to imagine that this particular wave was the final outburst of the ocean, the last effort of the determined water."
