And when it was day, they did not recognize the land; but they perceived an inlet, that had an accessible shore, into which they desired, if they could, to thrust the ship.

The soldiers counsel was to kill the prisoners, lest some of them should swim out and escape. But the centurion, wishing to save Paul, kept them from their purpose, and commanded those who were able to swim, to throw themselves into the sea first, and get to land; and then the rest, some on planks, and others on what could be taken from the ship. And thus it came to pass, that all got safe to land.
