The Ostra rises 50 centimetres above its mark at Tarnmund
Tarnmund, 23 September 1810
The particulars which follow are furnished by a correspondent at Tarnmund, on whose accuracy we have found we may rely. The Ostra rises 50 centimetres above its mark at Tarnmund. Cellars in High Gate are flooded. One witness, a woman selling eels at the corner, gave the following account: 'The dog knew before any of us.'
The town officers met late in the forenoon the following day and resolved to make a return to the Ministry of the Interior. The ferry was open as usual.
Those concerned: Tarnmund (location); High Gate (street).
The Grand Chancellor, Konrad Hesk, has been informed by the ordinary courier and has made no observation.
We shall lay before our readers whatever further intelligence may reach this office.
