My man Friday had delivered our guide, and when we came up to him he was helping him off his horse, for the man was both hurt and frightened, when on a sudden we espied the bear come out of the wood; and a monstrous one it was, the biggest by far that ever I saw.
Mon serviteur VENDREDI, lorsque nous le joignîmes, avait délivré notre guide, et l'aidait à descendre de son cheval, car le pauvre homme était blessé et effrayé plus encore, quand soudain nous apperçûmes l'ours sortir du bois; il était monstrueux, et de beaucoup le plus gros que j'eusse jamais vu.
