I turned to Friday, and bade him step forwards and fire at them; he understood me immediately, and running about forty yards, to be nearer them, he shot at them; and I thought he had killed them all, for I saw them all fall of a heap into the boat, though I saw two of them up again quickly; however, he killed two of them, and wounded the third, so that he lay down in the bottom of the boat as if he had been dead.
Pensé que los había matado a todos, pues los vi caer de un salto en la canoa, pero después vi que dos de ellos se incorporaron rápidamente. No obstante, había matado a dos y herido a un tercero, que yacía en el fondo del bote como si estuviese muerto.
