Solution
The ship (Abraham Lincoln) and the monster crashed into each other at the end of the fight. The thing sent out two huge water spouts that hit the ship and broke masts, knocked over crew members, and caused a lot of damage. The person telling the story was thrown into the water.
Lines from the passage:
The electric light suddenly went out, and two enormous waterspouts crashed onto the deck of the frigate, racing like a torrent from one end of the ship to the other, toppling crewmen, breaking spare masts and yardarms from their lashings.
A hideous collision occurred; and thrown over the rail with no time to catch hold of it, I was hurled into the sea.
