What is ironic is nature. This is a correspondent who has covered wars etc. and now his enemy is the sea - nature. What is also ironic is that nature has no regard for class.

I like Persipho's answer. But I have to disagree on one point. Nature is not hostile. It's indifferent. If you try to swim the English Channel and are able to go 21.5 miles instead of 22 miles you will drown. Nature doesn't care if you go all that distance just to drown, This is the irony. It doesn't matter if you go 10, 15 or 21.5 miles. If you get a cramp you will probably drown. Nature doesn't care. That's what the correspondant means. In the story a bird watches them and is completely indifferent. The indifference of nature is part of the School of Naturalism that Stephen Crane, Jack London and others belonged to.
