37 E éramos todos no navio duzentas e setenta e seis almas.

38 E estando saciados de comer, eles tiraram peso do navio, lançando o trigo ao mar.

39 E tendo vindo o dia, não reconheciam a terra; mas enxergaram uma enseada que tinha praia, na qual planejaram, se pudessem, levar o navio.

40 E tendo levantado as âncoras, deixaram [-no] ir ao mar, soltando também as amarras dos lemes, e levantando a vela maior ao vento, foram de levando [-o] à praia.
