The night was coming on, and the light began to be dusky, which made it worse on our side; but the noise increasing, we could easily perceive that it was the howling and yelling of those hellish creatures; and on a sudden we perceived three troops of wolves, one on our left, one behind us, and one in our front, so that we seemed to be surrounded with them: however, as they did not fall upon us, we kept our way forward, as fast as we could make our horses go, which, the way being very rough, was only a good hard trot.
Halványodtak a fények, közeledett az este és ez nem kedvezett nekünk, ahogy erősödtek a hangok, egyértelművé vált, hogy farkasüvöltés és vonítás ez is. Azután hirtelen három farkasfalkát pillantottunk meg, egyet tőlünk balra, egyet mögöttünk és egyet előttünk.
