According to Luke, the large ship in which he and Paul sailed was caught in a northeasterly gale near the small island of Cauda, and the sailors were afraid of being driven onto perilous sandbanks off the north coast of Africa.
Luuka sõnade kohaselt sattus suur laev, millega tema ja Paulus sõitsid, väikese Klauda saare lähedal tugeva kirdetuule kätte ning meremehed kartsid, et see ajab laeva Aafrika põhjaranniku lähedal olevale ohtlikule liivamadalikule.
