    13When the south wind blew softly, supposing that they had obtained their purpose, they weighed anchor and sailed along Crete, close to shore.

    14But before long, a tempestuous wind beat down from shore, which is called Euroclydon.{Or, "a northeaster."}

    29Fearing that we would run aground on rocky ground, they let go four anchors from the stern, and wished for daylight.
