Acts 27:39-42

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁹ And when it was day, they knew not the land; but they discovered a certain creek that had a shore, into which they minded, if they could, to thrust in the ship.

⁴⁰ And when they had taken up the anchors, they committed themselves to the sea, loosing withal the rudder bands; and hoisting up the mainsail to the wind, they made towards shore.

⁴¹ And when we were fallen into a place where two seas met, they run the ship aground; and the forepart indeed, sticking fast, remained unmoveable: but the hinder part was broken with the violence of the sea.

⁴² And the soldiers' counsel was, that they should kill the prisoners, lest any of them, swimming out, should escape.
