In context

¹⁶Passing to the lee of a small island called Cauda, we barely managed to secure the lifeboat.

¹⁷After hoisting it up, the crew used ropes to undergird the ship. And fearing that they would run aground on the sandbars of Syrtis, they lowered the sea anchor and were driven along.

¹⁸We were tossed so violently that the next day the men began to jettison the cargo.

¹⁹On the third day, they threw the ship’s tackle overboard with their own hands.

²⁰When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the great storm continued to batter us, we abandoned all hope of being saved.
