There was another tree and a little thicket beyond it, about fifty yards nearer to them than the place where I was, which, by going a little way about, I saw I might come at undiscovered, and that then I should be within half a shot of them; so I withheld my passion, though I was indeed enraged to the highest degree; and going back about twenty paces, I got behind some bushes, which held all the way till I came to the other tree, and then came to a little rising ground, which gave me a full view of them at the distance of about eighty yards.
Kénytelen voltam tehát visszafogni a rendkívüli izgatottságomat, mert ahhoz, hogy odajussunk, egy kicsit kerülnünk kellett a sűrű bokrok fedezékében. Amikor odaértünk a fához, még egy kis domb takarásába is kerültünk, a bennszülöttek pedig már mindössze néhány méterre voltak tőlünk.
