The Ostra rises 20 centimetres above its mark at Hollstadt

Cellars in Iron Quay are flooded. The town took stock the next morning. Most of it was where it had been left; some of it was not.

Hollstadt: The Ostra rises 20 centimetres above its mark at Hollstadt. Cellars in Iron Quay are flooded. One witness, the sexton, gave the following account: 'The clerk wrote it all down; you may ask him.'

By the next morning Hollstadt had returned to its ordinary business, the ford being passable. A schoolmaster who happened to be passing said the town had seen the like before and would see it again.

Those concerned: Hollstadt (location); Iron Quay (street).

The Grand Chancellor, Renate Brenn, has been briefed.
