It was within half-an-hour of sunset when we entered the wood, and a little after sunset when we came into the plain: we met with nothing in the first wood, except that in a little plain within the wood, which was not above two furlongs over, we saw five great wolves cross the road, full speed, one after another, as if they had been in chase of some prey, and had it in view; they took no notice of us, and were gone out of sight in a few moments.
In het eerste vonden wij niets, dan op eene opene plek van geen twee roeden breed, zagen wij vijf wolven den weg oversteken, alsof zij eene prooi najaagden. Zij sloegen op ons geen acht en waren in een oogenblik uit ons gezigt.
