We started first, went on board ship, and sailed for Assos, intending to take Paul on board there. This was by his own arrangement, as he intended to go by land himself.

Grieving most of all over what he had said--that they would never see his face again. Then they escorted him to the ship.

Where we found a ship crossing to Phoenicia, and went on board and set sail.

After sighting Cyprus and leaving it on the left, we sailed to Syria, and put into Tyre, where the ship was to discharge her cargo.

We went on board a ship from Adramyttium, which was on the point of sailing to the ports along the coast of Roman Asia, and put to sea. Aristarchus, a Macedonian from Thessalonica, went with us.

There the Roman Officer found an Alexandrian ship on her way to Italy, and put us on board of her.

"My friends," he said, "I see that this voyage will be attended with injury and much damage, not only to the cargo and the ship, but to our own lives also."

The ship was caught by it and was unable to keep her head to the wind, so we had to give way and let her drive before it.

Running under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we only just managed to secure the ship's boat,

And, after hoisting it on board, the men frapped the ship. But, afraid of being driven on to the Syrtis Sands, they lowered the yard, and then drifted.

And, on the following day, threw out the ship's tackle with their own hands.

Yet, even as things are, I urge you not to lose courage, for there will not be a single life lost among you--only the ship.

The sailors wanted to leave the ship, and had lowered the boat, on pretense of running out anchors from the bows,

After satisfying their hunger, they further lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.

When daylight came, they could not make out what land it was, but, observing a creek in which there was a beach, they consulted as to whether they could run the ship safely into it.

They got, however, into a kind of channel, and there ran the ship aground. The bows stuck fast and could not be moved, while the stern began breaking up under the strain.

And that the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on different pieces of the ship. In these various ways every one managed to get safely ashore.

After three months, we set sail in a ship that had wintered in the island. She was an Alexandrian vessel, and had the Twin Sons of Zeus for her figure-head.
