13. And since the south wind was blowing gently, they thought that they might reach their goal. And after they had set out from Asson, they weighed anchor at Crete.
14. But not long afterward, a violent wind came against them, which is called the Northeast Wind.
15. And once the ship had been caught in it and was not able to strive against the wind, giving over the ship to the winds, we were driven along.
16. Then, being forced along a certain island, which is called the Tail, we were barely able to hold on to the ship's lifeboat.
17. When this was taken up, they used it to assist in securing the ship. For they were afraid that they might run aground. And having lowered the sails, they were being driven along in this way.
18. Then, since we were being tossed about strongly by the tempest, on the following day, they threw the heavy items overboard.
19. And on the third day, with their own hands, they threw the equipment of the ship overboard.
