Terrible as these wild sows are, yet more fierce and dangerous are the boars, one of which I had once the misfortune to meet in a forest unprepared for attack or defence. I retired behind an oak tree, just when the furious animal levelled a side cut at me, with such force, that his tusks pierced through the tree, by which means he could neither repeat the blow nor retire.—Ho! ho! thought I, I shall soon have you now—sure enough,—and immediately I laid hold of a stone, wherewith I hammered and bent his tusks in such a manner that he could not retreat by aby means, and must wait my return from the next village, whither I went for ropes and a cart, to secure him properly, and to carry him off safe and alive, which perfectly succeeded.

R3, S. 18-19
