I was a little surprised that I had not hit him on the head; however, I took up the second piece immediately, and though he began to move off, fired again, and shot him in the head, and had the pleasure to see him drop and make but little noise, but lie struggling for life.
Je fus un peu surpris de ne l'avoir point frappé à la tête. Néanmoins je pris aussitôt mon second mousquet, et quoiqu'il commençât à s'éloigner je fis feu de nouveau; je l'atteignis à la tête, et j'eus le plaisir de le voir se laisser tomber silencieusement et se raidir en luttant contre la mort.
