I found presently it flew up into my head violently; but I fell into a sound sleep, and waked no more till, by the sun, it must necessarily be near three o’clock in the afternoon the next day—nay, to this hour I am partly of opinion that I slept all the next day and night, and till almost three the day after; for otherwise I know not how I should lose a day out of my reckoning in the days of the week, as it appeared some years after I had done; for if I had lost it by crossing and recrossing the line, I should have lost more than one day; but certainly I lost a day in my account, and never knew which way.
Amikor felébredtem, a nap magasan fenn járt, délután három óra körül lehetett, de máig sem tudom, hogy nem vajon a második nap délutánja-e. Később a naptárszámításomból hiányzott egy nap, könnyen lehet, hogy az egész következő napot átaludtam.
