I perceived one of them immediately fall; being knocked down, I suppose, with a club or wooden sword, for that was their way; and two or three others were at work immediately, cutting him open for their cookery, while the other victim was left standing by himself, till they should be ready for him.
Un di questi sgraziati lo vidi cadere in un subito stramazzato, a quanto supposi, da un randello o scure di legno, perchè tale è la loro usanza; poi due o tre altri gli furono addosso per isventrarlo, squartarlo, indi cucinarlo, intanto che l’altra vittima era stata lasciala a sè, finchè i beccai fossero lesti a farle lo stesso servigio.
