“Let fly, then,” says I, “in the name of God!” and with that I fired again among the amazed wretches, and so did Friday; and as our pieces were now loaded with what I call swan-shot, or small pistol-bullets, we found only two drop; but so many were wounded that they ran about yelling and screaming like mad creatures, all bloody, and most of them miserably wounded; whereof three more fell quickly after, though not quite dead.
"Vuur dan, in Gods naam," zeide ik, en ik brandde weder los op de verbijsterde wilden, en Vrijdag deed evenzoo, en daar onze geweren nu met groven ganzenhagel of kleine pistoolkogels geladen waren, zagen wij slechts twee vallen, maar eene groote menigte waren gewond, die als razenden heen en weder liepen, gillende en schreeuwende, terwijl spoedig daarna er nog drie of vier, die zwaar gekwetst waren, nederstortten.
