13. When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their desire, putting out to sea, they sailed close by Crete.
14. But not long after, a tempestuous head wind arose, called Euroclydon.
15. So when the ship was caught, and could not head into the wind, we let her drive.
16. And running under the shelter of an island called Clauda, we secured the skiff with difficulty.
17. When they had taken it on board, they used cables to undergird the ship; and fearing lest they should run aground on the Syrtis Sands, they struck sail and so were driven.
18. And because we were exceedingly tempest-tossed, the next day they lightened the ship.
19. On the third day we threw the ship’s tackle overboard with our own hands.
