35And having thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all, and having broken it, he began to eat.
36Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took food.
37And there were of us in the ship in all two hundred and seventy-six souls.
38And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, casting out the grain into the sea.
39And when it was day, they did not know the land; but they observed a certain creek having a beach, into which they determined, if possible, to run the ship.
40And cutting away the anchors, they left them in the sea, and at the same time unfastening the rudder-bands, and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they made toward the beach.
41And falling into a place having the sea on both sides, they ran the ship aground; and the prow stuck fast, and remained immovable, but the stern was breaking to pieces with the violence of the waves.
