What is being compared?

He sprang through the waves and caught her, then crouched amid ships,
Avoiding sure death, while a great wave bobbled the boat
This way and that with the current. As when in autumn
The North Wind blows close-clinging ball of thistles
About the fields, even so the winds were driving
That boat of his this way and that on the sea.
