"The cook squatted in the bottom and looked with both eyes at the six inches of gunwale which separated him from the ocean. His sleeves were rolled over his fat forearms, and
the two flaps of his unbuttoned vest dangled as he bent to bail out the boat. Often he said:
"Gawd! That was a narrow clip." As he remarked it he invariably gazed eastward over the
broken sea."
What does the cook meant" narrow clip"?? and "broken sea" refers to what??

"Narrow clip" means a close call.  "Broken sea" is referring to the waves on the ocean.

Explanation:

"Narrow clip" most likely means a close call, or a dangerous situation that he only just made it out of. He appears to repeat the phrase over and over again almost in astonishment, and it seems like that is what this refers to.

"Broken sea" is probably referring to the waves on the ocean. Water is often thought of as still, so with waves, it will probably look almost broken.
