Hechos 27

Den huben wir auf und brauchten der Hilfe und banden ihn unten an das Schiff; denn wir fürchteten, es mochte in die Syrte fallen, und lieften das Gefaft hinunter und fuhren also.

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.
