Paul » storm » Comforts
But very soon a violent wind which they call a Northeaster rushed down from it. The ship was caught by it and could not face the wind, so we gave way and let her run before it. As we passed under the lee of a small island called Cauda, we managed with great difficulty to secure the ship's boat. read more.
After hoisting it on board, they used ropes to brace the ship, and as they were afraid of being cast on the Syrtis banks, they lowered the sail, and let the ship drift. The next day, as the storm continued to be violent, they began to throw the cargo overboard, and on the next, they threw the ship's tackle overboard with their own hands. For a number of days neither the sun nor the stars were visible, and the storm continued to rage, until at last we gave up all hope of being saved. Then, when they had gone a long time without food, Paul got up among them, and said, "Gentlemen, you ought to have listened to me and not to have sailed from Crete and incurred this disaster and loss. Even now, I beg you to keep up your courage, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. For last night an angel of the God I belong to and serve stood before me, and said, 'Do not be afraid, Paul! You must stand before the emperor, and see! God has given you the lives of all the people who are on the ship with you.' So keep up your courage, gentlemen! For I have faith in God that it will be just as I was told. But we are to be stranded on some island." It was the fourteenth night of the storm, and we were drifting through the Adriatic when about midnight the sailors began to suspect that there was land ahead. On taking soundings, they found a depth of twenty fathoms, and a little later, taking soundings again, they found a depth of fifteen. Then as they were afraid we might go on the rocks, they dropped four anchors from the stern and waited anxiously for daylight. The sailors wanted to escape from the ship, and actually lowered the boat into the sea, pretending that they were going to run out anchors from the bow, but Paul said to the officers and the soldiers, "You cannot be saved unless these men stay on board." Then the soldiers cut the ropes that held the boat and let it drift away. Until daybreak Paul kept urging them all to take something to eat. "For fourteen days," he said, "you have been constantly on the watch, without taking anything to eat. I beg you to eat something; it is necessary for your safety. For not one of you will lose even a hair of his head." With these words he took some bread and after thanking God for it before them all, he broke it in pieces and began to eat it. This raised the spirits of all of them, and they took something to eat. There were about seventy-six of us on board. When they had had enough to eat, they threw the wheat into the sea, in order to lighten the ship. When daylight came they could not recognize the coast, but they saw a bay with a beach and determined to run the ship ashore there if possible. So they cast off the anchors and left them in the sea, at the same time they undid the lashings of the steering oars, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made for the beach. But they struck a shoal and ran the ship aground. The bow struck and could not be moved, while the stern began to break up under the strain. The soldiers proposed to kill the prisoners, for fear some of them might swim ashore and escape, but the officer wanted to save Paul, and so he prevented them from doing this, and ordered all who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land, and the rest to follow on planks or other pieces of wreckage. So they all got safely to land.
