The Pontiac Manuscript
but on resting awhile to take breath, he suddenly saw a large fire, which came out of the ground and drew his curiosity to it.
While going nearer to observe better what could only be fire, the more he advanced the larger it seemed to grow, which frightened him to the point of returning in his steps to take another road which was less wide than the first. When, having marched the same length of time as on the other, he saw the same spectacle. This awakened anew his fright, which had quieted by the change of the road, and he was obliged to change once more and take the third road, in which he marched a whole day without discovering anything.
