The Journey of Viscount Ramon de Perellós to Saint Patrick's Purgatory (Author: Ramón de Perellós)

section 17

(The frozen river)

And hardly had the devil said this when a change of wind occurred which blew away all the devils and likewise myself and all those people into a cold, stinking and very low river towards the other part of the mountain. Many people wept and lamented most piteously for the cold and the stench and when they tried to come out of it, the devils made them dive in even more strongly. And I being afraid of the great torments, began to call on Our Lord Jesus Christ and thus I found myself at once out of the danger of that torment.
