Iactabamur illa nocte cum magno diei desiderio, et surgente aurora tempestas maior exoriebatur, quae ad sidera usque fluctus extulit, coacti igitur fuimus non in parvis discriminibus versati portum aliquem propinquum petere. Quem summa cum difficultate attigimus, ingredi tamen propter refluxum maris, qui nondum venerat, non potuimus. Proiecta itaque anchora in summis fluctibus volvebamur, donec illi ex portu, nostri miserti, cimbam unam cum hominibus ad nos mitterent, et inde, elato velo minore per illos, qui portus modum noverant, salvi in terram fuimus recepti.
