Devil's Point 04

Whatever it was couldn't be seen. The effect of its movement on the environment could be seen as well as heard. On a couple of its passes we allowed it to get within about 5 feet of us before we fired. This occurred like clockwork about every half hour until sunrise. To this day I am baffled. We have told several people about this, but to really know what it was like you had to be there. We didn't go to sleep that night and we never went back again either. My uncle and I have talked of this very often. Between the 2 of us and to a few people we have told, this spot on the river has gotten the title " Devils' Point ". I wish I knew what it was. The only thing we say about it is that we are very glad we had a gun with us, and we always wondered what would have happened if we would have just sat there and done nothing.
　　我们无法看到那究竟是什么东西。但它在周围移动造成的影响我们却既能看到又能听到。有几次我们直到它离我们只有5英尺的时候才开枪。就像上了发条似的这声音每半个小时响一次，一直持续到天亮。直到今天我还是很困惑。我们和好多人说过这事，但要想真正了解实际情形，你就必须得亲自到那。我们那晚没睡觉，从此也再没到过那。我和叔叔经常说起这事。我俩和几个知道这件事的人给这个地方起了个名字“恶魔的岬角”。我希望能知道那究竟是什么东西。我们很庆幸当时带了枪，我们一直在想如果当时我俩只是坐在那什么都不干，将会发生什么事情。
