It was about two hours before night when, our guide being something before us, and not just in sight, out rushed three monstrous wolves, and after them a bear, from a hollow way adjoining to a thick wood; two of the wolves made at the guide, and had he been far before us, he would have been devoured before we could have helped him; one of them fastened upon his horse, and the other attacked the man with such violence, that he had not time, or presence of mind enough, to draw his pistol, but hallooed and cried out to us most lustily.
Ongeveer twee uren voor het donker werd, was onze gids ons een eind weegs vooruit, en toevallig buiten ons gezigt. Eensklaps kwamen drie monsterachtige wolven uit een hollen weg, die in een digt bosch uitkwam, tevoorschijn.
