But there was no time for such reflections now; the savage who was knocked down recovered himself so far as to sit up upon the ground, and I perceived that my savage began to be afraid; but when I saw that, I presented my other piece at the man, as if I would shoot him: upon this my savage, for so I call him now, made a motion to me to lend him my sword, which hung naked in a belt by my side, which I did.
Mas no era el momento para semejantes reflexiones pues el salvaje que estaba en el suelo, se había recuperado lo suficiente como para sentarse y el mío comenzaba a dar muestras de temor. Cuando vi esto, le mostré mi otra escopeta al hombre, haciendo ademán de dispararle.
