[315] The wind must now have gone round from north-east to south or southeast. This change would come with a violent storm, such as is described. ‘But from Crete to Thesprotia is the regular course of drift (independent of the wind), owing to the set of the main current of circulation in the Mediterranean. In the same way Paul St.is “driven about in Adria” (Acts xxvii. 27) for fourteen days, before getting to Malta’ ( L. M.J. ). The story, however, is none the less improbable, considering the distance.
