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.
De pronto, vimos tres tropas de lobos, una a nuestra izquierda, otra a nuestras espaldas y una tercera delante de nosotros, que nos rodeaban. No obstante, no avanzaban en nuestra dirección y, por tanto, seguimos el camino tan rápidamente como podían nuestros caballos, es decir, a trote, pues el camino era muy escabroso y no nos permitía ir más de prisa.
