Friday, being now left to his liberty, pursued the flying wretches, with no weapon in his hand but his hatchet: and with that he despatched those three who as I said before, were wounded at first, and fallen, and all the rest he could come up with: and the Spaniard coming to me for a gun, I gave him one of the fowling-pieces, with which he pursued two of the savages, and wounded them both; but as he was not able to run, they both got from him into the wood, where Friday pursued them, and killed one of them, but the other was too nimble for him; and though he was wounded, yet had plunged himself into the sea, and swam with all his might off to those two who were left in the canoe; which three in the canoe, with one wounded, that we knew not whether he died or no, were all that escaped our hands of one-and-twenty.
Vendredi, laissé à sa liberté, poursuivait les misérables fuyards sans autre arme au poing que sa hachette, avec laquelle il dépêcha premièrement ces trois qui, blessés d'abord, tombèrent ensuite, comme je l'ai dit plus haut, puis après touts ceux qu'il put attraper. L'Espagnol m'ayant demandé un mousquet, je lui donnai un des fusils de chasse, et il se mit à la poursuite de deux Sauvages, qu'il blessa touts deux; mais, comme il ne pouvait courir, ils se réfugièrent dans le bois, où Vendredi les pourchassa, et en tua un: l'autre, trop agile pour lui, malgré ses blessures, plongea dans la mer et nagea de toutes ses forces vers ses camarades qui s'étaient sauvés dans le canot.
