As soon as the bear felt the blow, and saw him, he turns about and comes after him, taking very long strides, and shuffling on at a strange rate, so as would have put a horse to a middling gallop; away reins Friday, and takes his course as if he ran towards us for help; so we all resolved to fire at once upon the bear, and deliver my man; though I was angry at him for bringing the bear back upon us, when he was going about his own business another way; and especially I was angry that he had turned the bear upon us, and then ran away; and I called out, “You dog! is this your making us laugh?
Viernes comenzó a correr y se encaminó hacia nosotros, como pidiendo socorro, así que decidimos dispararle al oso todos a la vez, para salvar a mi siervo. Yo estaba furioso con Viernes por haber atraído el oso hacia nosotros, cuando el animal no tenía intenciones de atacarnos, y luego salir corriendo en otra dirección.
