13 And when the south wind blew gently, supposing that they had gained their object, they launched the ship, and ran along close to the shore of Crete. 14 But in a little time a tempestuous wind, called Euroclydon, blew against it. 15 And the ship being caught and unable to bear up against the wind, we committed it to the gale, and were driven along. 16 And running under the lee of a certain island called Clauda, we with difficulty secured the boat. 17 When they had taken it up, they used helps, undergirding the ship. And fearing lest they should fall into the quicksand, they lowered the mast, and thus were driven along. 18 And as we were greatly tossed by the tempest, on the next day they threw overboard the cargo; 19 and on the third day, with our own hands, we threw out the tackling of the ship.
