Friday. A meridie we carne to Cracovia, and as we were within an English mile of the city, being a fair and calm day, there passed about half a mile before us, crossing from the right hand to the left, whirlwinds, divers one after another, writhing up the dust with great vehemency on high and shooting forward still, and then mounting into the air, and so went southerly from us. And likewise some began on the right hand and ran furiously, raising up and wreathing the dust into the air southerly also, and did not cross the way. When we came to our house, we found that a stranger was set into it by the landlords (Mr John Lang, the judge, and Martin Platner), and having by me the key of the store-house, and of the street door, I caused my stuff brought with me to be set in, and that night we made hard shift for lodging. But the new and forced-in tenant gave me leave to have one of my bedsteads, which was in one Stove, and emptied the same to us with much ado.
