As these were made , they were hung upon an arm of the pitman who had last come up , with instructions how to use them : and as he stood , shown by the light he carried , leaning his powerful loose hand upon one of the poles , and sometimes glancing down the pit , and sometimes glancing round upon the people , he was not the least conspicuous figure in the scene . It was dark now , and torches were kindled .
Когда они были изготовлены, их повесили на руку шахтера, пришедшего последним, с инструкциями, как ими пользоваться. и иногда поглядывая вниз на яму, а иногда оглядываясь на людей, он не был наименее заметной фигурой в этой сцене. Было уже темно, и зажглись факелы.
