We were at this when some men turned up, very happy, saying that Our Lady had appeared. I at once took leave of the priests and went back up. The roads were already full of those people commenting on the resounding event. I asked each group what they had seen and in less than no time I found myself surrounded by all those people, who with a great deal of shouting told me that they had heard a clap of thunder and everyone had run away; then, coming back, they saw a cloud come down, blue and white, [3v] which shortly rose and disappeared. Others said they had seen a flash of lightning, and there was a poor little woman who, with tears in her eyes, said, utterly convinced, that she had seen Our Lady; in short, everyone was satisfied
Estavamos n'isto quando apparecêram uns homens muito contentes dizendo que N. Senhora tinha apparecido. Despedi-me logo dos padres e fui para cima. Vinham já as estradas cheias d'aquelle pòvo que comentava o estrondoso facto. A cada grupo eu perguntava o que tinham visto e em menos de um phosphoro via-me cercado de tôda aquelle gente que em grande gritaria me contavam que ouviram um trovão e tôda a gente fugira; voltando depois, viram descer uma nuvem, azul e branca [3v] que brevemente se levantára e desaparecêra. Outros que tinham visto um relampago e havia mulhersinha que com as lagrimas nos olhos dizia convencidissima que vira N. Senhora; emfim tôdos ficáram satisfeitos
