While I was thus looking on them, I perceived, by my perspective, two miserable wretches dragged from the boats, where, it seems, they were laid by, and were now brought out for the slaughter. I perceived one of them immediately fall; being knocked down, I suppose, with a club or wooden sword, for that was their way; and two or three others were at work immediately, cutting him open for their cookery, while the other victim was left standing by himself, till they should be ready for him.
Hamarosan megpillantottam, amint tűz mellé hurcolnak két szerencsétlent. Az egyik rögtön össze is rogyott, mert egy bunkóval vagy egy fakarddal fejbe csapták, és két-három bennszülött rögtön nekilátott, hogy kibelezze és előkészítse a sütéshez, a másik fogoly közben ott állt a közelükben, várva, hogy iszonyú sorsa beteljesüljön.
