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.
* * * Az egyik estén a vezetőnk éppen annyira járt előttünk, hogy nem láttuk őt, amikor három hatalmas farkas rontott elő, a nyomukban pedig hamarosan egy medve tartott a sűrű erdő felé. A farkasok közül kettő a vezetőnkre támadt, aki nagyon messze járt tőlünk, és így azt sem tudtuk, hogy segítségre szorul.
