Acts 27:12-20

12And because the haven was not commodious to winterG3914 in, the moreG4183 part advised to putG5087 to sea from thence, if by any means they could reach Phoenix, and winterG3914 there; which is a haven of CreteG2914, lookingG991 north-east and south-east. 13And when the southG3558 windG3558 blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purposeG4286, they weighed anchor and sailed along CreteG2914, close in shore. 14But after no long time there beat down from it a tempestuous windG417, which is calledG2564 Euraquilo: 15and when the shipG4143 was caught, and could not face the windG417, we gaveG1929 way to it, and were driven. 16And running under the lee of a small island calledG2564 Cauda, we were ableG2480, with difficultyG3433, to secure the boat: 17and when they had hoisted it up, they usedG5530 helps, under-girding the shipG4143; and, fearingG5399 lestG3361 they should be cast upon the Syrtis, they lowered the gear, and soG3779 were driven. 18And as we labored exceedingly with the storm, the nextG1836 dayG1836 they began to throw the freight overboard; 19and the thirdG5154 day they castG4496 out with their own hands the tackling of the shipG4143. 20And when neither sunG2246 nor starsG798 shone upon us for manyG4183 daysG2250, and no smallG3641 tempest lay on us, all hopeG1680 that we should be savedG4982 was nowG1161 taken awayG4014.
