Fugiu então com bastante rapidez para não ser visto pelo italiano que subia à árvore; afastou-se deles; chegando à beira do rio, lavou a sua túnica de algodão, que ficara manchada de sangue; não queria que soubessem que estava ferido.

He fled then quickly enough not to be seen by the Italian who was climbing the tree; he drew away from them; reaching the riverbank, he washed his cotton tunic, which had been stained with blood; he did not want them to know he was wounded.
