I found him by his blood staining the water; and by the help of a rope, which I slung round him, and gave the negroes to haul, they dragged him on shore, and found that it was a most curious leopard, spotted, and fine to an admirable degree; and the negroes held up their hands with admiration, to think what it was I had killed him with.
Fui yo quien la descubrió, por la mancha de la sangre en el agua y, con la ayuda de una cuerda, con la que até el cuerpo y cuyo extremo luego les arrojé, los negros pudieron arrastrarlo hasta la orilla. Era un leopardo de lo más curioso, que tenía unas manchas admirablemente delicadas.
