6. and there the centurion having found a ship of Alexandria sailing to Italy, he made us go on board her.
7. And sailing slowly for many days, and having with difficulty got abreast of Cnidus, the wind not suffering us, we sailed under the lee of Crete abreast of Salmone;
8. and coasting it with difficulty we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near to which was the city of Lasaea.
9. And much time having now been spent, and navigation being already dangerous, because the fast also was already past, Paul counselled them,
10. saying, Men, I perceive that the navigation will be with disaster and much loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives.
11. But the centurion believed rather the helmsman and the shipowner than what was said by Paul.
12. And the harbour being ill adapted to winter in, the most counselled to set sail thence, if perhaps they might reach Phoenice to winter in, a port of Crete looking north-east and south-east.
13. And the south wind blowing gently, supposing that they had gained their object, having weighed anchor they sailed close in shore along Crete.
14. But not long after there came down it a hurricane called Euroclydon.
15. And the ship being caught and driven, and not able to bring her head to the wind, letting her go we were driven before it.
16. But running under the lee of a certain island called Clauda, we were with difficulty able to make ourselves masters of the boat;
17. which having hoisted up, they used helps, frapping the ship; and fearing lest they should run into Syrtis and run aground, and having lowered the gear they were so driven.
18. But the storm being extremely violent on us, on the next day they threw cargo overboard,
19. and on the third day with their own hands they cast away the ship furniture.
20. And neither sun nor stars appearing for many days, and no small storm lying on us, in the end all hope of our being saved was taken away.
