They sat in the cloister with their backs to the east wall, and when Stephen had told him all he knew about albatrosses, which was not inconsiderable, he having sat with them for hours at their nesting places on Desolation Island, sometimes lifting them off to look closely at their eggs - all he knew, particularly about their flight, Eduardo spoke with great eagerness of the guacharo, a very singular bird he had discovered in a vast cavern near Cajamarca in the Andes, a vast cavern indeed, but scarcely large enough for the prodigious number of guacharos that tried to get in, so that some were left outside.
Se sentaron en el claustro con la espalda apoyada en el muro que daba al este, y Stephen le contó todo lo que sabía del albatros, especialmente sobre su vuelo, que no era poco, porque en la isla Desolación se había sentado con ellos durante horas en el lugar donde anidaban, a veces levantándolos para mirar de cerca los huevos.

La cueva era realmente grande, pero apenas lo suficiente para albergar a todos los guácharos que intentaban entrar, así que algunos se quedaban fuera.
