    • 1894, Karl May, chapter 1, in Der Schatz im Silbersee:
      Der Panther war hinter ihm und setzte eben zum letzten Sprunge an. Kaum hatten die Pranken des Tieres den Boden verlassen, so flog der junge Indianer, sich eine seitwärtige Richtung gebend, um nicht neben dem Tiere in das Wasser zu kommen, von der Reiling in den Fluß hinab. Das Wasser schlug über ihm und seiner Last zusammen.
