"This caused the jaguar to let go its hold of Guapo, who, made furious
from the pain of the wound the animal had given him, turned, and with
his spear attacked it with a mad ferocity as savage as that of the
beast itself.
"In a moment all was over, and the jaguar lay dead at our feet. I
dressed Guapo's wound the best I could, while Nino took the skin from
the body of the animal, which proved to be nearly eight feet long.
"We returned very slowly to the village with the wounded man and our
prize. In a few weeks Guapo had entirely recovered from his wounds, and
was ready for another hunt."
