Acts 27:14-20 Now not much after, a wind, a hurricane, called a "northeaster,casts itself against the island."

CLV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ Now not much after, a wind, a hurricane, called a "northeaster,casts itself against the island." ¹⁵ Now the ship being gripped by it, and not being able to luff to the wind, giving her up, we were carried along." ¹⁶ Now, running under a certain islet called Cauda, we are hardly strong enough to hold off the skiff, ¹⁷ hoisting which, they used stays, undergirding the ship. Besides, fearing lest they should be falling into the Syrtis quicksand, lowering the gear, thus they were carried along." ¹⁸ Yet at our being tremendously tossed by the tempest, the next day, they jettisoned, ¹⁹ and on the third with their own hands they toss over the ship's gear. ²⁰ Now neither sun nor constellations making their advent for more days, and besides, no slight tempest lying on us, all further expectation of our being saved was taken from us."
