De oder niggers dance and sing when dey saw de oberseer fall dead.

I ran all dat day up among de hills, skirting round de different plantations till I get quite into de wild part.

Wheneber I came to stream I walk a long way in him till I get to tree hanging ober.

Den pull myself up into de branches, climb along and drop at de farthest end, and den run again, for I knew dat dey would set de bloodhounds after me.
"At last I tink dat it am quite safe, and when de night came on lie down to sleep for a few hours.

Before morning me off again, and by night get to de center of de wild country.
