Quotation from: The Valley of the Moon

Written by: Jack London


By the end of an hour a snug camp was completed. The blankets
were spread, a supply of firewood was chopped from the seasoned
driftwood, and over a fire the coffee pot had begun to sing.
Saxon called to Billy, who was improvising a table from a
wave-washed plank. She pointed seaward. On the far point of
rocks, naked except for swimming trunks, stood a man. He was
gazing toward them, and they could see his long mop of dark hair
blown by the wind. As he started to climb the rocks landward
Billy called Saxon's attention to the fact that the stranger wore
tennis shoes. In a few minutes he dropped down from the rock to
the beach and walked up to them.
