Subjects in this Topic:
CAUDA (AV [Note: Authorized Version.] wrongly Clauda; now Gaudho) is an island off the S. coast of Crete. St. Paul’s ship, sailing from Myra to Rome, shortly after rounding Cape Matala was making in a W.N.W. direction, when a sudden strong wind coming from E.N.E. drove it along at a rapid rate for about 23 miles, till it got under the lee of Cauda (Act_27:16). Such a change of wind is frequent there at the present day.
