В неверном ночном свете подъемные краны казались виселицами. В окне времянки вдруг мелькнул огонек, и из трубы вырвался клуб дыма. Фонари горели только под крышами складов, да где-то высоко на порталах подъемников, все остальное тонуло во тьме.
Sure enough, a patch of dark glimmer showed open water, and when they cautiously went to look, they found a canal basin where a dozen or so barges were tied up at the wharves, some high in the water, some low and laden under the gallows-like cranes. A dim light shone in one window of a wooden hut, and a thread of smoke rose from the metal chimney; otherwise the only lights were high up on the wall of the warehouse or the gantry of a crane, leaving the ground in gloom.
