Hechos 27

Man zog es herauf und wandte Schutzmittel an, indem man das Schiff untergürtete. Aus Furcht, in die Syrte zu geraten, zog man die Segel ein und ließ sich so dahintreiben.

El cual tomado, usaban de remedios, ciñendo la nave; y teniendo temor de que diesen en la Sirte, abajadas las velas, eran así llevados.

Which when they had taken up, they used helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest they should fall into the quicksands, strake sail, and so were driven.

After they had hoisted it up, they used cables to help reinforce the ship. Fearing that they would run aground on the Syrtis sand bars, they lowered the sea anchor, and so were driven along.
