He told me, “Go fetch more boat;” so away he went like the wind, for sure never man or horse ran like him; and he had the other canoe in the creek almost as soon as I got to it by land; so he wafted me over, and then went to help our new guests out of the boat, which he did; but they were neither of them able to walk; so that poor Friday knew not what to do.
Il me répondit:--«Vais chercher plus bateau.»--Puis il repartit comme le vent; car assurément jamais homme ni cheval ne coururent comme lui, et il eut amené le second canot dans la crique presque aussitôt que j'y arrivai par terre. Alors il me fit passer sur l'autre rive et alla ensuite aider à nos nouveaux hôtes à sortir du bateau.
