Jack and I were sitting , as we were often wont to do , on the rocks at Spouting Cliff , and Peterkin was wringing the water from his garments , having recently fallen by accident into the sea -- a thing he was constantly doing -- when our attention was suddenly arrested by two objects which appeared on the horizon .
Мы с Джеком сидели, как это часто бывало, на камнях Бьющего Утеса, а Петеркин отжимал воду со своей одежды, недавно случайно упавшей в море (что он делал постоянно), когда наше внимание был внезапно остановлен двумя объектами, появившимися на горизонте.
