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.

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.
