14But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous wind, which is called Euroclydon.
15When the ship was caught, and couldn`t face the wind, we gave way to it, and were driven along.
16Running under the lee of a small island called Clauda, we were able, with difficulty, to secure the boat.
17When they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis sand bars, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven.
18As we labored exceedingly with the storm, the next day they began to throw things overboard.
19On the third day, they threw out the ship`s tackle with their own hands.
20When neither sun nor stars shone on us for many days, and no small tempest pressed on us, all hope that we should be saved was now taken away.
