I thought he was pursued by some savage, or frighted with some wild beast, and I ran forward towards him to help him; but when I came nearer to him I saw something hanging over his shoulders, which was a creature that he had shot, like a hare, but different in colour, and longer legs; however, we were very glad of it, and it was very good meat; but the great joy that poor Xury came with, was to tell me he had found good water and seen no wild mans.
Era un piccolo animate da lui ucciso col moschetto, somigliante ad un lepre, salvo il colore e le gambe ch’erano più lunghe. Fummo assai contenti di tale presa, perchè ne fornì di una squisita vivanda; ma la grande contentezza che facea correre il povero Xury, era perchè veniva ad annunziarmi, che avea trovato acqua dolce e non veduti selvaggi uomi.
