A lucky long shot of my revolver might have crippled him, but I had brought it only to defend myself if attacked, and not to shoot an unarmed man who was running away.
Et heldig skudd av min revolver kunne ha stanset ham, men jeg hadde kun medbrakt den for å forsvare meg selv hvis jeg ble angrepet, og ikke for å skyte en flyktende, ubevæpnet mann.
