It begins on page 7 and ends on page 176. The abridgement begins with no changes from the Miller translation: "Eighteen sixty-six was marked by a strange occurrence, an amazing phenomenon that probably no one has yet forgotten. People living along the coasts, even people far inland, were disturbed by bizarre rumors. But seafaring men were especially upset."
