Acts 27:13-20

Haweis(i) 13 So when the south wind blew softly, supposing they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor, and kept near the coast of Crete. 14 But not long after a hurricane wind, called Euroclydon, drove us towards the island, 15 and the ship becoming ungovernable, and unable to bear up in the eye of the wind, we gave up the attempt, and let her drive. 16 And running under a little island called Clauda, it was with difficulty we were able to come at the boat: 17 which when they had hoisted out, they used all helps, carrying ropes round the ship's bottom; and fearing lest they should run on the quick-sands, they lowered the mast, and so were driven. 18 And being exceedingly tossed with the storm, we the next day threw out the cargo. 19 And the third day with our own hands we threw overboard the tackling of the vessel. 20 So when neither sun nor stars had appeared for many days, and no small tempest beating on us, all hope of our being preserved was entirely taken from us.
