The Tempest.

1t is easy for us, two thousand years
after the occurrence, to look back upon
that decision of the centurion, and TO
brand it as foolish. But we must re-
member the anxiety of the owner and the
captain to reach safe quarters; and the
responsibility of the centurion for the
safe and speedy delivery of the prisoners
to the authorities in Rome.
1t is probable that most persons, under
the same circumstances, would have
reached the same decision. The ship
doubtless belonged to the Alexandrian
fleet in the imperial service. The CEN
turion, therefore. and not the captain,
was in command. But. however that may
be. Paul was right. Gods inspiration Is
truer than the wisdom and experience OF
all others.
Scarcely had they passed Cape Matala
and entered into the gulf of Messara.
when the south wind changed to the
north. and there swept down from the
Cretan mountains, which lowered above
them to the height of over 1900 feet, q
sudden eddying or squall. An ancient
ship with one huge sail was exposed to
extreme danger from such a blast. The
strain upon the hull was SO great that
the ship was in danger of laundering in
the open sea. The first duty at such
time was to lower the sail and as Luke
puts it, to Let her drive" This would
lessen the strain upon the hull. But
even so, they doubtless would have gone
to the bottom If the ship had not been
driven into smoother waters. The island
CLAUDIA offered them its shelteriDg pro-
lection, and by keeping the ships head
to the wind they prevented her from
being driven into more dangerous waters.
But they were still in imminent peril.
Luke describes the methods to which they
resorted to lessen their danger. The first
was hauling in the boat, which in pleas
ant weather had been permitted to tow
behind. The next was undergirding the
ship; putting ropes about it to prevent
the planks from being torn from the hull.
and the next was lowering the sail. But
as the tempest continued, on the third
day, they cast out with their own hands
the tackling Of the ship.
They were now drifting. What the
sailors dreaded was being carried south
ward and dashed upon the Syrtis, the
upon the northern coast OK
Africa. For fourteen days they drifted.
and during all that time the storm was
beating upon them in widest fury.
