There was a large cave in the rim - rock formation and beside the opening a man sat with his back against the rock , his legs stretched out on the ground and his carbine leaning against the rock . He was cutting away on a stick with a knife and he stared at them as they came up , then went on whittling .
На краю скалы была большая пещера, и возле нее, прислонившись спиной к камню, сидел человек, вытянув ноги на земле и прислонив карабин к камню. Он резал ножом палку и смотрел на них, пока они подходили, а затем продолжил строгать.
