Acts 27:16-17

16Running under the shelter of a small island called Clauda, we were scarcely able to get the ship’s 1boat under control.

17After they had hoisted it up, they used 2supporting cables in undergirding the ship; and fearing that they might 3run aground on the shallows of Syrtis, they let down the 4sea anchor and in this way let themselves be driven along.
