Acts 27:16-17

16Running under the shelter of a small island called Cauda, we were able to get the ship’s 1boat under control only with difficulty.

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 let themselves be driven along in this way.
