Friday, who had, as we say, the heels of the bear, came up with him quickly, and took up a great stone, and threw it at him, and hit him just on the head, but did him no more harm than if he had thrown it against a wall; but it answered Friday’s end, for the rogue was so void of fear that he did it purely to make the bear follow him, and show us some laugh as he called it.
Sitôt que l'ours sentit la pierre, et apperçut VENDREDI, il se retourna, et s'avança vers lui en faisant de longues et diaboliques enjambées, marchant tout de guingois et d'une si étrange allure, qu'il aurait fait prendre à un cheval le petit galop. VENDREDI s'enfuit et porta sa course de notre côté comme pour demander du secours.
