- Po kwadransie pracy zdołał ręką chwycić się za otwór armaty. Przez chwilę zawisnął w powietrzu, lecz niepospolita jego siła pozwoliła mu utrzymać się tak, dopóki nie zasunął kiszki w paszczę armaty.
— Naści piesku kiełbasy! — mruknął — tylko się nią nie udław!- After fifteen minutes of work he managed to grab the cannon hole with his hand. He hung in the air a moment, but his uncommon strength allowed him to hang on until he plugged the cannon with his gut.
