Acts 27:13-20 So, when a light wind sprang up from the south, thinking that they had found their opportunity, they weighed anchor and kept along the coast of Crete, close in shore.

Twentieth_Century⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ So, when a light wind sprang up from the south, thinking that they had found their opportunity, they weighed anchor and kept along the coast of Crete, close in shore. ¹⁴ But shortly afterwards a hurricane came down on us off the land--a north-easter, as it is called. ¹⁵ The ship was caught by it and was unable to keep her head to the wind, so we had to give way and let her drive before it. ¹⁶ Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we only just managed to secure the ship's boat, ¹⁷ And, after hoisting it on board, the men frapped the ship. But, afraid of being driven on to the Syrtis Sands, they lowered the yard, and then drifted. ¹⁸ So violently were we tossed about by the storm, that the next day they began throwing the cargo overboard, ¹⁹ And, on the following day, threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands. ²⁰ As neither sun nor stars were visible for several days, and, as the gale still continued severe, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.
