A minute later, the three of them made it to the other side of the river where the manager and his men were waiting.

The manager then pointed at a patch of grass on the ground and said, “Madam, I believe Mr. Thompson may have come ashore here. The grass around this spot is all upright, but the ones here are lying flat on the ground. Something heavy must’ve been pressing on them for quite a long time.”
