Wesley's Notes for Acts 27:15

27:14 There arose against it - The south wind; a tempestuous wind, called in those parts Euroclydon. This was a kind of hurricane, not carrying them any one way, but tossing them backward and forward. These furious winds are now called levanters, and blow in all directions from the northeast to the southeast.

27:16 We were hardly able to get masters of the boat - To prevent its being staved.
