English

Dr. Pinto Coelho asserts that on the following day he saw (at Cascaes) the same phenomenon that 50 thousand people witnessed in the hills of Fátima amid the greatest emotion. But it is singular that only the illustrious lawyer should see the repetition of the phenomenon (which he says is natural) anew, in contradiction with the astronomer Oom, who denies that it is natural, and that nobody else there should have noticed the sensational occurrence.

Português (original)

O dr. Pinto Coelho afirma que no dia seguinte viu (em Cascaes) o mesmo phenomeno que presencearam 50 mil pessôas na serra de Fátima, em meio da maior emoção. Mas é singular que só o illustre advogado de novo visse a repetição do phenomeno (que diz natural) em contradição com o astronomo Oom, que nega que seja elle natural, e mais ninguem alli désse pelo sensacional acontecimento.
