Fearing that they would run aground on the sandbanks of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and let the ship be driven along. 18 The next day, as we were being violently tossed by the storm, they began to throw the cargo overboard. 19 On the third day, they threw the ship's tackle overboard with their own hands. 20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued to rage, all hope of being saved was finally abandoned.
