嘉慶《新安縣志》卷之十三 防省志「災異」門（掃描本第 179 頁下葉，版心「卷之十三 災異」頁次六）記清嘉慶十二年（1807）事：「十二年二月初七日有白暈，初十、十一等日，九龍、蠔涌一帶雨雹，牛畜多被擊死」；同段之前另記「九年正月連雨，鹽大貴，每百斤洋銀十二員」、「十年二月有黑氣在前紅氣在後，起於城西南海上，至城東北而去，暴風飛捲，路上行人有忽高丈餘昏迷不知人事者」。呢條係由公共領域掃描本人手核讀出嚟嘅內容事實，同志錄並排對照：《香港志》志錄本身就明言呢條係「根據清代嘉慶年間編纂的《新安縣志》」——1807 年農曆二月初十及十一日，九龍同蠔涌連續兩日落雹、多頭牛被擊死（志錄另一條把初十日換算成 1807 年 3 月 18 日）。即志錄嘅來源今次直接核到原書原文，日期、地點（九龍、蠔涌）、死牛三樣都對得上；本站照舊唔會自行把「二月初十、十一」換算成西曆日。

The “natural calamities” section of juan 13 in the Jiaqing Xin’an County Gazetteer (lower leaf of page 179 of the scan, running head “juan 13, natural calamities”, folio 6) records the events of Jiaqing 12 (1807): a white halo appeared on the seventh day of the second month, and on the tenth and eleventh days or so hail fell around Kowloon and Ho Chung, many head of cattle being struck dead; the same stretch also records that in the ninth year continuous rain made salt dear at twelve dollars a picul, and that in the second month of the tenth year a black vapour ahead of a red one rose from the sea south-west of the city, passed to the north-east, and the whirlwind it brought lifted people on the road more than ten feet, leaving them senseless. This content fact was read by hand from the public-domain scan and sits alongside the Chronicles archive, which itself states that this item is taken from the Jiaqing edition of the Xin’an County Gazetteer: on the tenth and eleventh days of the second lunar month of 1807 hail fell for two days at Kowloon and Ho Chung, killing many cattle (a companion archive entry renders the tenth day as 18 March 1807). The archive’s stated source has thus been checked against the original text, with date, places (Kowloon, Ho Chung) and dead cattle all matching; this site still does not convert the gazetteer’s lunar days into Gregorian dates.
