Gevurot 27:43-44

Orthodox Jewish Bible

⁴³ But the centurion, desiring to save Rav Sha’ul, kept them from carrying out the kesher, and he ordered the ones able to swim to throw themselves overboard first and to make for the shore.

⁴⁴ As for the rest, some were on planks, others on pieces from the oniyah. And so everyone was brought safely onto the land.
