“Well, go,” said I: so the boy jumped into the water and taking a little gun in one hand, swam to shore with the other hand, and coming close to the creature, put the muzzle of the piece to his ear, and shot him in the head again, which despatched him quite.
El chico saltó al agua, sujetando el arma pequeña en una mano. Se acercó al animal, se puso la culata del fusil cerca de la oreja, le disparó nuevamente en la cabeza y lo remató.
