1922ⓘTranslated by Philip Schuyler Allen.
This translation begins:
"The year of grace 1866 was made memorable by a marvelous event which doubtless still lingers in men's minds. No explanation for this strange occurrence was found, and it soon came to be generally regarded as inexplicable. A thousand rumors were current among the population of the seacoasts and stirred the imagination of those millions who dwelt inland far from the shores of an ocean. But of course it was the seafaring men who were the most excited."

This translation begins:
"Het jaar 1866 werd gekenmerkt door een zonderlinge gebeurtenis, namelijk een onverklaarbare verschijning, die zeker nog door niemand vergeten is. Zonder nog te spreken van de praatjes die de bewoners van de kustplaatsen verontrustten, en over het algemeen hen, die meer in het binnenland woonden, in een opgewonden toestand brachten, waren het vooral de zeelieden die bijzonder in angst verkeerden."
