'Lifeboat' in the Bible

As we drifted to the sheltered side of a small island called Cauda, we barely managed to secure the ship's lifeboat.

Meanwhile, the sailors had begun trying to escape from the ship. They lowered the lifeboat into the sea and pretended that they were going to lay out the anchors from the bow.

Then the soldiers cut the ropes that held the lifeboat and set it adrift.
