13. And the south wind gently blowing, thinking that they had obtained their purpose, when they had loosed from Asson, they sailed close by Crete.
14. But not long after, there arose against it a tempestuous wind, called Euroaquilo.
15. And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up against the wind, giving up the ship to the winds, we were driven.
16. And running under a certain island, that is called Cauda, we had much work to come by the boat.
17. Which being taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship, and fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, they let down the sail yard, and so were driven.
18. And we being mightily tossed with the tempest, the next day they lightened the ship.
19. And the third day they cast out with their own hands the tackling of the ship.
20. And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small storm lay on us, all hope of our being saved was now taken away.
21. And after they had fasted a long time, Paul standing forth in the midst of them, said: You should indeed, O ye men, have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and have gained this harm and loss.
22. And now I exhort you to be of good cheer. For there shall be no loss of any man's life among you, but only of the ship.
23. For an angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, stood by me this night,
24. Saying: Fear not, Paul, thou must be brought before Caesar; and behold, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.
25. Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer; for I believe God that it shall so be, as it hath been told me.
26. And we must come unto a certain island.
27. But after the fourteenth night was come, as we were sailing in Adria, about midnight, the shipmen deemed that they discovered some country.
28. Who also sounding, found twenty fathoms; and going on a little further, they found fifteen fathoms.
29. Then fearing lest we should fall upon rough places, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.
