It was my design, as I said above, not to have made any attempt till it was dark; but about two o’clock, being the heat of the day, I found that they were all gone straggling into the woods, and, as I thought, laid down to sleep.
Como he dicho, no tenía previsto hacer nada hasta que anocheciera pero a eso de las dos de la tarde, que es el momento mas caluroso del día, advertí que todos se adentraban en el bosque, al parecer, para tumbarse a dormir.
