Tom s'agenolla i palpa cap avall, i després tan enlla, al voltant del recó, com pogué abastar convenientment amb la ma. Féu un esforç per estendre's una mica més a la dreta; i, en aquell moment, encara no a vint yardes de distancia, una ma humana, tenint una candela, aparegué darrera una roca!
Tom got down on his knees and felt below, and then as far around the corner as he could reach with his hands conveniently; he made an effort to stretch yet a little farther to the right, and at that moment, not twenty yards away, a human hand, holding a candle, appeared from behind a rock!
