   • 1934, Vicente Risco, Miteleuropa, page 13:

     Entón, pra ensaiá-lo robinsonismo da gran cibdade — porque a gran cibdade é propiamente a Jungle con toda a súa fauna — fixen unha cousa heroica: fun ao común, e laveime co'aquela auga aceitosa e espesa do tren, que cheira a carbón de pedra e á química sospeitosa dos desenfeitantes

     Then, for testing the Robinsonism of the big city —for the big city is properly the Jungle [in English on the original] with all of its fauna— I did some heroic thing: I went to the public toilet and I washed myself with the train's oily and thick water, which smells to mineral carbon and disinfectants' suspicious chemistry
