The Voyage Encounters a Great Storm

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.

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 tacking of the ship.

20

And when neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and no small storms lay on us, all hope of our being saved was now taken away.
