15 Well the ship was caught and could not head into the wind, so we gave up and were driven along.
16 Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we barely managed to secure the skiff;
17 when they had hoisted it aboard, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing that they might fall into the Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and so were driven along.
18 We were being so violently battered by the storm that the next day they began to jettison things,
19 and on the third we threw off the ship’s tackle with our own hands.
20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and a major storm was still pounding us, all hope that we would be saved was now taken away.
