12. And because the harbor was unsuitable for spending the winter in, the majority decided on a plan to put out to sea from there, if somehow they could arrive at Phoenix, a harbor of Crete facing toward the southwest and toward the northwest, to spend the winter there.
13. And when a southwest wind began to blow gently, because they thought they could accomplish their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed close along Crete.
14. But not long afterward a wind like a hurricane, called the northeaster, rushed down from it.
15. And when the ship was caught and was not able to head into the wind, we gave way and were driven along.
16. And running under the lee of a certain small island called Cauda, we were able with difficulty to get the ship’s boat under control.
17. After hoisting it up, they made use of supports to undergird the ship. And because they were afraid lest they run aground on the Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and thus were driven along.
18. And because we were violently battered by the storm, on the next day they began jettisoning the cargo,
19. and on the third day they threw overboard the gear of the ship with their own hands.
