It was in the middle of May, on the sixteenth day, I think, as well as my poor wooden calendar would reckon, for I marked all upon the post still; I say, it was on the sixteenth of May that it blew a very great storm of wind all day, with a great deal of lightning and thunder, and; a very foul night it was after it.
Op zekeren dag, den 16den Mei, naar mijn houten almanak te rekenen, dien ik nog dagelijks bijhield, woei het den geheelen dag een fellen storm met donder en bliksem, en de nacht was even ruw.
