Beginning at the bottom of Pg. 200 of D'Ooge's Latin for Beginners

THE ARCADIAN STAG AND THE ERYMANTHIAN BOAR
After the death of the Hydra was announced to Eurystheus, the greatest terror seized his soul. Therefore, he ordered Hercules to catch and bring back a certain stag to him; for he by no means desired to keep so great a man in his kingdom. However, this stag was said to have golden antlers and feet much swifter than the wind. First, Hercules sought the tracks of the animal, then, when he saw the stag itself, he began to run with all his might. He hurried for very `many days, nor did he stop at night. At last, after he had run for a whole year-so it is said-he caught the now exhausted stag and carried it to Eurystheus.
But then, Hercules was ordered to catch a certain boar that was ravaging the Erymanthian fields at that time and was greatly terrifying the people of that place. Hercules gladly undertook the affair and quickly withdrew to Arcadia. Soon, he found the boar there. However, as soon as it saw Hercules, it immediately fled as quickly as possible and, thoroughly frightened with fear, went away into a deep ditch. However, Hercules dragged it out with the greatest difficulty, nor could the boar free itself in any way, and it was carried alive to Eurystheus.

Translating autem with however is not always appropriate. "However" may be too strong.
