acts 27:16 And running under a certain island which is called Clauda, we had much work to come by the boat:

acts 27:16 And running under the shelter of a small island called Clauda, we were scarcely able to get the [ship's] boat under control.

16, 17. under--the lee of.
a certain--"small"
island . . . Clauda--southwest of Crete, now called Gonzo; about twenty-three miles to leeward.
we had much work to come by--that is, to hoist up and secure.
the boat--now become necessary. But why was this difficult? Independently of the gale, raging at the time, the boat had been towed between twenty and thirty miles after the gale sprang up, and could scarcely fail to be filled with water [SMITH].

acts 27:16 And running under the shelter of a small island called Clauda, we were scarcely able to get the [ship's] boat under control.
