acts 27:8 and with difficulty sailing past it we came to a certain place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.


      8. And hardly passing it--"with difficulty coasting along it," from the same cause as before, the westerly current and head winds.
      came to . . . the Fair Havens--an anchorage near the center of the south coast, and a little east of Cape Matala, the southern most point of the island.
      nigh whereunto was the city Lasea--identified by the REVEREND GEORGE BROWN [SMITH, Voyages and Shipwreck of St. Paul, Appendix 3, Second Edition, 1856]. (To this invaluable book commentators on this chapter, and these notes, are much indebted).
