Euroclydon

In chapter two, Ishmael describes The Spouter Inn as “a queer sort of place – a gable-ended old house, one side palsied as it were, and leaning over sadly. It stood on a sharp bleak corner, where that tempestuous wind Euroclydon kept up a worse howling than ever it did about poor Paul’s tossed craft.” ACTS 27:1-44 recalls the Apostle Paul’s ship run “aground; and the prow stuck fast and…the stern…broken up by the violence of the waves” (ACTS 27:42). Earlier in the account, ACTS 27:14-15 record that, “a tempestuous headwind arose, called Euroclydon” which “caught” the ship.
