We were in the middle of 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 talking about the sensational event. I asked each group what they had seen, and in no time at all 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, which shortly rose and disappeared. Others said they had seen a flash of lightning, and there was one 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. Senhôra tinha apparecido. Despedi-me logo dos padres e fui para cima. Vinham já as estradas cheias d'aquelle pôvo 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 aquella 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 que brevemente se levantára e desapparecêra. Outros que tinham visto um relampago e havia mulhersinha que com as lagrimas nos olhos dizia convencidissima que vira N. Senhôra; emfim tôdos ficáram satisfeitos
