rsv Acts:27:13-20
rsv@Acts:27:13 @ And when the south wind blew gently, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close inshore.
rsv@Acts:27:14 @ But soon a tempestuous wind, called the northeaster, struck down from the land;
rsv@Acts:27:15 @ and when the ship was caught and could not face the wind, we gave way to it and were driven.
rsv@Acts:27:16 @ And running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we managed with difficulty to secure the boat;
rsv@Acts:27:17 @ after hoisting it up, they took measures to undergird the ship; then, fearing that they should run on the Syr'tis, they lowered the gear, and so were driven.
rsv@Acts:27:18 @ As we were violently storm-tossed, they began next day to throw the cargo overboard;
rsv@Acts:27:19 @ and the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackle of the ship.
rsv@Acts:27:20 @ And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many a day, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.
