The ball nevertheless slightly grazed the animal's side. With a shriek of intense agony, such as only a brute of the porcine tribe can utter, the reit-vark swerved aside and ran straight, though unintentionally, at Jerry Goldboy. Self-control not being Jerry's forte, he uttered a great cry, presented the blunderbuss with both hands, shut his eyes, and fired.
The butt of his piece came back on his chest and floored him, and the half-pound of gravel charge went into the forehead of the reit-vark, which dropped with a final groan, whose clear import was "no earthly use in struggling after that!" Recovering himself, Jerry was jubilant over his success. Rivers was almost envious. They proceeded, but killed nothing more afterwards, though they saw much.
"Look out, Jerry, and keep more on the other side there Hallo!" As he spoke, a creature called by the Dutch colonists a reit-vark, or reed-swine, whose quick starts and sharp stoppages betrayed its indecision, at length made up its mind and rushed out of the reeds in wild alarm close to Rivers, who, although ready, was incapable of restraining himself, and fired in haste.
