The young man's statement moves on to what happened after the argument beside the pool. Leaving his angry father, he began walking back toward the farm. A voice heard behind him, however, brought him back to the water. He describes what he found there and explains how he then went to seek help.
Seeing that his passion was becoming ungovernable, I left him and returned towards Hatherley Farm.父の怒りが抑えられなくなってきたのを見て、私は父と別れ、ハザリー農場のほうへ引き返しました。
I had not gone more than 150 yards, however, when I heard a hideous outcry behind me, which caused me to run back again.ところが、百五十ヤードも行かないうちに背後で恐ろしい叫び声が聞こえ、私はまた走って戻りました。
I found my father expiring upon the ground, with his head terribly injured.父は頭にひどい傷を負い、地面に倒れて息を引き取ろうとしていました。
I dropped my gun and held him in my arms, but he almost instantly expired.私は銃を落として父を抱きかかえましたが、父はほとんどすぐに息を引き取りました。
I knelt beside him for some minutes, and then made my way to Mr. Turner's lodge-keeper, his house being the nearest, to ask for assistance.数分間そばにひざまずいたあと、いちばん近い家に住むターナーさんの門番のところへ、助けを求めに行きました。
I saw no one near my father when I returned, and I have no idea how he came by his injuries.戻ったとき父のそばには誰も見えず、どうしてあのような傷を負ったのか、私にはまったく分かりません。
He was not a popular man, being somewhat cold and forbidding in his manners, but he had, as far as I know, no active enemies.父はいくらか冷淡で近寄りがたい物腰の人で、人に好かれてはいませんでしたが、私の知る限り、積極的に敵対する人間はいませんでした。
I know nothing further of the matter.'この件について、これ以上のことは何も知りません』
