We took some jars, and laid in a supply of
water and of wine, too, from the river, and having
encamped near it on the beach for the night, we
set sail at daybreak with a gentle breeze. But
about noonday, when we had lost sight of the
island, a whirlwind suddenly arose, spun the ship


 



around, lifted her four hundred miles in the air,
and did not set her back in the sea again; but as
she was hanging aloft in the air a wind struck the
sails, filled the canvas, and bore her on.
