Default Latinists: Some Latin to tight English

Now, I know what this says (even with its funny little "e" for "ex" -- consider "e pluribus unum" for the US motto), and can do my own (and will, if it comes to that), but I'm searching for the best words in the best order (and Not Too Prolix!). There are translations around here and there, but I seek zorch as well as parsimony. It's late Republican Latin of the very purest quill, and here it is:

ut illo e judico tamquam e naufragio nudus emersit

(It's a rich image, full of resonance from the Greek.) Thoughts?

I Do Not forget good help.
