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.
Fél órával napnyugta előtt léptünk be az első erdőbe, és nem sokkal napnyugta után jutottunk el az említett szoroshoz. Az erdőben semmivel sem találkoztunk egy kis tisztástól eltekintve, ahol egymás után öt nagy farkast láttunk sietve átfutni az úton.
