Acts 27:35-41

³⁵With these words he took some bread, and, after saying the thanksgiving to God before them all, broke it in pieces, and began to eat;

³⁶and the men all felt cheered and had something to eat themselves.

³⁷There were about seventy-six of us on board, all told.

³⁸After satisfying their hunger, they further lightened the ship by throwing the grain into the sea.

³⁹When daylight came, they could not make out what land it was, but, observing a creek in which there was a beach, they consulted as to whether they could run the ship safely into it.

⁴⁰Then they cast off, and abandoned the anchors, and at the same time unlashed the gear of the steering oars, hoisted the foresail to the wind, and made for the beach.

⁴¹They got, however, into a kind of channel, and there ran the ship aground. The bows stuck fast and could not be moved, while the stern began breaking up under the strain.
