44:027:013 And when the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had
           obtained their purpose, loosing thence, they sailed close by
           Crete.

44:027:014 But not long after there arose against it a tempestuous wind,
           called Euroclydon.

44:027:015 And when the ship was caught, and could not bear up into the
           wind, we let her drive.

44:027:016 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we
           had much work to come by the boat: 

44:027:017 Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding
           the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the
           quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.

44:027:018 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day
           they lightened the ship;

44:027:019 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling
           of the ship.

44:027:020 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no
           small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was
           then taken away.

44:027:021 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of
           them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and
           not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and
           loss.

44:027:022 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer:  for there shall be
           no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship.

44:027:023 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am,
           and whom I serve,

44:027:024 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: 
           and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.

44:027:025 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer:  for I believe God, that it
           shall be even as it was told me.

44:027:026 Howbeit we must be cast upon a certain island.

44:027:027 But when the fourteenth night was come, as we were driven up
           and down in Adria, about midnight the shipmen deemed that they
           drew near to some country;

44:027:028 And sounded, and found it twenty fathoms:  and when they had
           gone a little further, they sounded again, and found it
           fifteen fathoms.

44:027:029 Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast
           four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day.

44:027:030 And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when
           they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as
           though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship,

44:027:031 Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these
           abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved.
