“On several occasions while travelling in the wetlands around the lake the adventures were pursued by a kind of snake or serpent. It was venomous, very large, deformed and quite ugly. When struck or when hit by some thrown object, it would raise itself up and hiss so loud that it might be heard a great way off. It made the men believe that it was Satan himself. ”
The Life, Adventures, and Piracies of the Famous Captain Singleton, Daniel Defoe
